This is for you, if you are non-technical or if your project has grown beyond what you can hold in your head o.O I created a CONTEXT.md file and decided to make it public. This makes ClaudeCode your Lead Engineer while you remain a … “simple” Product Manager. My side project kept getting bigger and more complex every week. I was losing track of what actually mattered vs. what was just code plumbing. Sometimes, I randomly got new variable names in my code, or Claude just invented new stuff on the fly… So I built a simple framework around one idea: split everything into two layers. 🟠 Surface Nodes: the features you can see and verify. You own these as PM. ⬜ Core Nodes: code, dependencies, security, pipelines. Claude owns these. You drop one context file into your project root, open ClaudeCode and type “Start here -> CONTEXT.md.” Claude reads your codebase and returns: Every feature listed in plain English with a human-readable verify step A map of technical layers and their risks Tests written as GIVEN / WHEN / THEN — no code, fully readable A security audit rated 🟢🟡🔴 in plain language, not tech jargon Checkpoints you can run with a single copy-paste command There’s also a session protocol so Claude never surprises you; tags like [RISK] (Claude stops before doing anything irreversible) and [BLAST RADIUS] (Claude tells you exactly which features to re-check after a code change). The file is ~120 lines. The full version is on Github - PM Context . Initially, I used the CONTEXT .md file for every session. Now, I only use it once or twice a week, as the CLAUDE .md file and memory are improving. Test it out and let me know what results you get! And not to forget I got slightly better usage per day with my current account. submitted by /u/Best_Arachnid7723
