# Human Context

This file tells the AI who you are - your background, goals, expertise, and intentions. It is loaded in every session as a global rule.

Every new session starts with amnesia. This file replaces the months of context a long-term colleague would have. It tells the AI what you know (so it skips unnecessary explanations), what you're building (so suggestions align with your direction), and where you're going (so micro-decisions serve macro-goals).

**Tips**: Keep this file to 1-3 pages. Focus on what's stable about you (identity, values, expertise), not what changes often (current tasks, recent decisions - that's what the memory system is for).

Edit this file to match your situation. The sections below are a starting framework.

---

## Who I Am

<!-- Your professional identity and technical background.
     Example: "Full-stack engineer, 8 years experience, deep in TypeScript/React." -->

## What I'm Building

<!-- Your current projects, their purpose, and how they connect.
     Example: "Building a SaaS product for X. Also maintaining an open-source tool for Y." -->

## How I Work

<!-- Your working style, preferences, and what makes collaboration effective.
     Example: "I prefer terse communication. Show me the diff, not the explanation." -->

## What I Value

<!-- Your professional values and quality standards.
     Example: "Ship working software. Test what matters. Don't over-engineer." -->

## Where I'm Going

<!-- Your longer-horizon goals and how current work serves them.
     Example: "Building toward independent consulting. Current projects are portfolio pieces." -->
