# AI Assistant Context Discovery Rules
## Primary Context Files
- Look for all context files matching `**/.context.md` or `**/.AI.md` in the repository.
- Use terminal command `find . -name '.context.md' -o -name '.AI.md'` from project root if needed.
## Context Hierarchy and Application
- When reading/writing a file at path `/path/to/file`, check for context files in this order:
1. Repository root context (e.g., `/.context.md`)
2. Each parent directory from root to file location (e.g., `/path/.context.md`, `/path/to/.context.md`)
3. Directory-specific context in the file's location
- Apply instructions from all found context files, with more specific (deeper) contexts overriding general ones when conflicting.
## Content Organization
- All context files should have clear section headers using markdown syntax
- Code examples should be properly formatted in code blocks with language identifiers
- Pattern-specific instructions should be prefixed with the pattern they apply to
## Verification
- Before implementing major changes, verify understanding by summarizing the relevant context rules
- When multiple context files apply, explicitly mention which guidance you're following
