What jargon exists in this domain? What are the edge cases? Shared Language Create a CONTEXT.md file with domain-specific jargon: BEFORE: "There's a problem when a lesson inside a section of a course is made 'real'" AFTER: "There's a problem with the materialization cascade" Small Steps Always take small, deliberate steps. The rate of feedback is your speed limit. Location Installed at: /opt/skills
