# Context-Aware System Builder
**Build complete, production-ready AI systems tailored to your domain in minutes.**
## Overview
The Context-Aware System Builder is a sophisticated meta-system that generates complete `.opencode` folder architectures customized to your specific domain, use cases, and requirements. It combines prompt-enhancer techniques with comprehensive context-aware system design principles to create production-ready AI systems.
## What It Does
Transforms your requirements into a complete AI system with:

✅ **Workflow Definitions** - Reusable process patterns
✅ **Custom Slash Commands** - User-friendly interfaces
✅ **Complete Documentation** - README, architecture guide, testing checklist, quick start

### Context Flow
**Level 1: Complete Isolation (80% of generation tasks)**
- Used for: domain-analyzer, command-creator
- Context: Task specification only
- Efficiency: 80% reduction in overhead
**Level 2: Filtered Context (20% of generation tasks)**
- Used for: agent-generator, context-organizer, workflow-designer
- Context: Architecture plan + domain analysis + relevant specs
- Efficiency: 60% reduction in overhead
**Level 3: Windowed Context (Never used in generation)**
- System generation is stateless

## Customization
After generation, customize:
1. **Context Files**: Add domain-specific knowledge
2. **Workflows**: Adjust based on real usage
3. **Validation Criteria**: Refine quality standards
4. **Agent Prompts**: Add examples and edge cases
5. **Commands**: Create additional slash commands
## Best Practices
### For Interviews
- Be specific about use cases
- Provide concrete examples
- Identify dependencies between tasks
- Think about edge cases
- Consider integration needs
### For Generated Systems
- Start with simple use cases
- Test thoroughly before production
- Customize context with real knowledge
- Monitor performance and iterate
- Document learnings and patterns
### For Context Management
- Keep files focused (50-200 lines)
- Use clear, descriptive names
- Avoid duplication
- Document dependencies
- Include concrete examples
### For Performance
- Use Level 1 context for 80% of tasks
- Only use Level 2 when domain knowledge needed
- Rarely use Level 3 (complex coordination only)
- Load context selectively
- Monitor efficiency metrics
## Troubleshooting
### Common Issues
**Issue**: Interview doesn't capture all requirements
**Solution**: You can revise before generation or customize after
**Issue**: Generated agents don't route correctly
**Solution**: Check @ symbol usage and context level specifications in agent files
**Issue**: Context files are too large
**Solution**: Split into smaller, focused files (target 50-200 lines)
**Issue**: Workflows are unclear
**Solution**: Add more detailed steps and examples in workflow files
**Issue**: Commands don't work as expected
**Solution**: Verify agent routing in command frontmatter
