Domain Context

Quickstart

Prerequisites

Section titled “Prerequisites”

Install and initialize

Section titled “Install and initialize”

  1. Install domain-context-cc:

    Terminal window
    npx domain-context-cc

  2. Open your project in Claude Code and run:

    /dc:init

    This creates the .context/ directory with MANIFEST.md, domain/, decisions/, and constraints/ subdirectories. It also scaffolds ARCHITECTURE.md, wires AGENTS.md, and creates CLAUDE.md.

  3. Start working — Claude Code is now domain-context-aware.

    Domain context hooks will remind you to keep .context/ files up to date as you work.

What just happened

Section titled “What just happened”

The /dc:init command set up the complete Domain Context structure in your project. It created the .context/ directory for storing domain knowledge, scaffolded root-level files that wire everything together, and configured .gitignore to exclude local context.

Domain Context initialized:
  .context/MANIFEST.md     created
  .context/domain/         created
  .context/decisions/      created
  .context/constraints/    created
  ARCHITECTURE.md          created
  AGENTS.md                created
  CLAUDE.md                created
  .gitignore               updated
