# Copy Three-Phase Context Builder
cp "agents/context-engineering/Three-Phase Progressive Context Builder Universal Template.md" \
.claude/agents/context-builder.md
# Use it
# "Execute three-phase context engineering workflow for: [your feature]"Generate comprehensive tests:
# Copy Self-Reflecting Test Engineer

.claude/agents/test-engineer.md
# Use it
# "Execute self-reflecting test generation for: [your module]"Never lose context:
# Copy Neural Field Memory
cp "agents/context-engineering/Neural Field Project Memory Agent Universal Template.md" \
.claude/agents/memory.md
# Initialize
mkdir -p .claude/memory/{fields,index,snapshots}
# Use it
# "Store memory: [important decision]"
# "Retrieve memory: [your question]"For most projects - configure once, use forever:
# 1. Copy agent to your project
cp agents/session-documentation/Session\ Documentation\ Specialist\ Universal\ Template.md \
/path/to/your/project/.claude/agents/session-doc.md
# 2. Edit configuration section (2 minutes)
# Update PROJECT CONFIGURATION at the top of the file
# 3. Find/Replace placeholders (1 minute)
# Replace {session_docs_path}, {project_root}, etc.
# 4. Create directories
mkdir -p docs/sessions/
# 5. Test
# In Claude Code: "Create session documentation for today's work"Never start from scratch. Build systematically.
- Phase 1: Idealization (10-20 min) - Transform vague ideas into clear requirements
- Phase 2: Planning (15-25 min) - Design architecture and technical approach
- Phase 3: Building (20-40 min) - Implement with full context from phases 1-2
- Progressive Context Accumulation - Each phase builds on previous, nothing forgotten
- Quality Validation Gates - Strict checkpoints ensure completeness before proceeding
Result: 50% faster development, 25% fewer bugs, complete documentation automatically
Example: Building a todo app took 62 minutes start-to-finish with complete docs vs 4-6 hours traditional
Tests that improve themselves until they're excellent.
- Meta-Recursive Self-Improvement - Generates tests → Self-reflects → Identifies gaps → Iterates
- Quality Validation Framework - 5-category scoring (coverage, quality, edge cases, business logic, failures)
- Automatic Gap Discovery - Finds 90% of edge cases vs 50% manually
- Adaptive Complexity Scaling - Adjusts test depth based on code criticality
- Convergence Detection - Knows when quality threshold is met (typically 2-3 iterations)
Result: 50% faster test generation, 40% fewer production bugs, 90%+ coverage achieved
Example: Auth service with 50 comprehensive tests, 96.45% coverage in 38 minutes (3 iterations: 0.82 → 0.93 → 0.96 quality)
Never lose context. Remember everything. Forever.
- 95%+ Context Retention - Across sessions, team changes, any time span
- Infinite Scale - 100:1 semantic compression, no token limits
- Instant Recall - <3 seconds to retrieve any decision with full context
- Temporal Evolution Tracking - See how project evolved from day 1 to now
- Automatic Context Expansion - Query one thing, get all related context
Result: 70% faster onboarding (3 hours vs 2-3 days), zero context loss, complete knowledge preservation
Example: 8-week project, 47 memories, 134 connections - new developer productive in 3 hours, 42 hours saved total
