# Domain Docs

How the engineering skills should consume this repo's domain documentation when exploring the codebase.

## Before exploring, read these

- **`CONTEXT.md`** at the repo root, or
- **`CONTEXT-MAP.md`** at the repo root if it exists — it points at one `CONTEXT.md` per context. Read each one relevant to the topic.
- **`specs/06-Decision-Records/`** — read ADRs that touch the area you're about to work in. This repo uses `specs/` instead of `docs/` for all documentation.

If any of these files don't exist, **proceed silently**. Don't flag their absence; don't suggest creating them upfront. The producer skill (`/grill-with-docs`) creates them lazily when terms or decisions actually get resolved.

## File structure

Single-context repo (this repo):

```
/
├── CONTEXT.md (if it exists)
├── specs/
│   ├── 00-overview/
│   ├── 01-requirements/
│   ├── 02-architecture/
│   ├── 03-Data-and-Storage/
│   ├── 04-Infrastructure-OPS/
│   ├── 05-Engineering-Guidelines/
│   └── 06-Decision-Records/  ← ADRs live here
└── src/
```

## Use the glossary's vocabulary

When your output names a domain concept (in an issue title, a refactor proposal, a hypothesis, a test name), use the term as defined in `specs/00-overview/00-02-glossary.md`. Don't drift to synonyms the glossary explicitly avoids.

If the concept you need isn't in the glossary yet, that's a signal — either you're inventing language the project doesn't use (reconsider) or there's a real gap (note it for `/grill-with-docs`).

## Flag ADR conflicts

If your output contradicts an existing ADR in `specs/06-Decision-Records/`, surface it explicitly rather than silently overriding:
