I’m building Shifu to help engineers carry relevant decisions, constraints, and reasoning into their next task.

How these articles are made

We use Shifu’s work context, current technical documentation, and concrete examples to prepare these articles with AI assistance. Source review and simulated engineer and engineering-leader tasks help us catch gaps. Those simulations are editorial checks, not customer validation.

We separate product intent, experiments, and observed results. Found a mistake or missing condition? Tell us what needs correcting.

Before coding Context in practice

Claude Code memory and context: explain less between tasks

Choose what belongs in project instructions, native memory, the current session, and a task-specific evidence brief.

Behind Shifu Building with context

Why we are building a context engine for AI coding

The reasoning behind Shifu: preserve useful engineering understanding and bring it into the next task.
