Tool Context Documentation System - Implementation Plan

Overviewโ€‹

This document outlines the design and implementation plan for a persistent context documentation system that captures tool execution results and project-specific patterns for reuse in future sessions.

Problem Statementโ€‹

When tools like bootstrap_validation_loop run, they generate valuable context including:

  • Platform detection results
  • Validated patterns and deployment strategies
  • Environment-specific configurations
  • Learnings from execution (successes/failures)
  • Architectural decisions

Currently, this context is lost after the session ends. Developers have to re-discover or re-analyze the same information in future sessions, especially problematic for:

  • LLMs with limited context windows (e.g., Gemini)
  • Long-term project maintenance
  • Team onboarding
  • CI/CD pipeline consistency

Solution: Tool Context Documentsโ€‹

Generate persistent, project-specific context documents that can be:

  1. Automatically created by tools during execution
  2. Stored in a predictable location within the project
  3. Easily referenced by developers and LLMs in future prompts
  4. Version controlled alongside code and ADRs

Context Document Schemaโ€‹

Tests: tests/utils/context-document-manager.test.ts


1.2 Create README for Context Systemโ€‹

File: docs/context/README.md

Explain:

  • Purpose of context documents
  • How to use them in prompts
  • File organization
  • Retention policy
  • Examples of referencing context

Phase 2: Bootstrap Tool Integration (Week 2)โ€‹

2.1 Integrate Context Generation into Bootstrap Toolโ€‹

File: src/tools/bootstrap-validation-loop-tool.ts

Add context generation at key points:

import { ToolContextManager, ToolContextDocument } from '../utils/context-document-manager.js';

// In BootstrapValidationLoop class
private contextManager: ToolContextManager;

constructor(projectPath: string, adrDirectory: string, maxIterations: number = 5) {
// ... existing initialization
this.contextManager = new ToolContextManager(projectPath);
}

// After deployment plan generation (line ~270)
async saveBootstrapContext(
platformDetection: PlatformDetectionResult,
validatedPattern: ValidatedPattern | null,
deploymentPlan: DynamicDeploymentPlan,
bootstrapAdrPath: string
): Promise<void> {
const contextDoc: ToolContextDocument = {
metadata: {
toolName: 'bootstrap_validation_loop',
toolVersion: '1.0.0',
generated: new Date().toISOString(),
projectPath: this.projectPath,
projectName: path.basename(this.projectPath),
status: 'success',
confidence: platformDetection.confidence * 100,
},
quickReference: `
Detected ${platformDetection.primaryPlatform} (${(platformDetection.confidence * 100).toFixed(0)}% confidence).
Using validated pattern: ${validatedPattern?.name || 'Dynamic AI Analysis'}.
Bootstrap ADR: ${bootstrapAdrPath}
`,
executionSummary: {
status: 'Platform detected and deployment plan generated',
confidence: platformDetection.confidence * 100,
keyFindings: [
`Primary platform: ${platformDetection.primaryPlatform}`,
`Validated pattern: ${validatedPattern?.name || 'N/A'}`,
`Required files: ${deploymentPlan.requiredFiles.length}`,
`Deployment steps: ${deploymentPlan.deploymentSteps.length}`,
],
},
detectedContext: {
platform: {
primary: platformDetection.primaryPlatform,
all: platformDetection.detectedPlatforms.map(p => p.type),
confidence: platformDetection.confidence,
evidence: platformDetection.evidence.slice(0, 10),
},
validatedPattern: validatedPattern ? {
name: validatedPattern.name,
version: validatedPattern.version,
platformType: validatedPattern.platformType,
baseRepository: validatedPattern.baseCodeRepository.url,
authoritativeSources: validatedPattern.authoritativeSources.map(s => ({
type: s.type,
url: s.url,
required: s.requiredForDeployment,
})),
} : null,
deploymentPlan: {
recommendedPlatform: deploymentPlan.recommendedPlatform,
confidence: deploymentPlan.confidence,
source: deploymentPlan.source,
requiredFiles: deploymentPlan.requiredFiles.map(f => ({
path: f.path,
purpose: f.purpose,
required: f.required,
})),
environmentVariables: deploymentPlan.environmentVariables.map(e => ({
name: e.name,
required: e.required,
isSecret: e.isSecret,
})),
deploymentSteps: deploymentPlan.deploymentSteps.length,
estimatedDuration: deploymentPlan.estimatedDuration,
},
},
generatedArtifacts: [
bootstrapAdrPath,
path.join(this.projectPath, 'bootstrap.sh'),
path.join(this.projectPath, 'validate_bootstrap.sh'),
],
keyDecisions: [
{
decision: `Use ${platformDetection.primaryPlatform} as deployment platform`,
rationale: `Detected with ${(platformDetection.confidence * 100).toFixed(0)}% confidence based on project structure and configuration files`,
},
],
relatedDocuments: {
adrs: [bootstrapAdrPath],
configs: deploymentPlan.requiredFiles.map(f => f.path),
otherContexts: [],
},
};

await this.contextManager.saveContext('bootstrap', contextDoc);
}

Call this method after creating the bootstrap ADR (around line 270):

// After line 270: bootstrapAdrPath created
await this.saveBootstrapContext(
this.platformDetection!,
this.validatedPattern,
this.deploymentPlan!,
bootstrapAdrPath
);

2.2 Update Bootstrap Results to Include Context Pathโ€‹

Modify the return type of executeLoop to include context document path:

return {
success,
iterations: this.currentIteration,
finalResult,
adrUpdates,
executionHistory: this.executionHistory,
deploymentPlan: this.deploymentPlan,
bootstrapAdrPath,
contextDocumentPath: contextDocPath, // NEW
requiresHumanApproval: true,
};

Phase 3: Extend to Other Tools (Week 3-4)โ€‹

Apply similar context generation to:

  1. deployment_readiness โ†’ docs/context/deployment/readiness-{timestamp}.md
  2. environment_analysis โ†’ docs/context/environment/analysis-{timestamp}.md
  3. perform_research โ†’ docs/context/research/{topic}-{timestamp}.md
  4. interactive_adr_planning โ†’ docs/context/planning/session-{timestamp}.md

Each tool should:

  • Use ToolContextManager to save context
  • Generate appropriate ToolContextDocument
  • Return context document path in results
  • Update latest.md symlink for the category

Phase 4: Usage Patterns & Documentation (Week 4)โ€‹

4.1 Create Usage Guideโ€‹

File: docs/how-to-guides/using-tool-context-documents.md

Content:

  • How to reference context in prompts
  • Examples for different LLMs (Claude, Gemini, GPT-4)
  • Best practices for context injection
  • How to find the right context document
  • How context improves consistency

4.2 Update Tool Documentationโ€‹

Add sections to each tool's documentation:

  • Context Generation: What context this tool creates
  • Using Context: How to reference generated context in future sessions
  • Context Location: Where to find the context document

4.3 LLM Integration Examplesโ€‹

For Gemini (limited context):

System instructions:
"Before generating ADRs or deployment plans, always check for and read:
1. docs/context/bootstrap/latest.md - For platform and deployment context
2. docs/context/environment/latest.md - For environment configuration
3. docs/context/research/latest.md - For research findings

These context documents contain project-specific validated patterns and decisions."

For Claude (via CLAUDE.md):

## Tool Context Documents

This project uses tool context documents to preserve execution results and decisions.

**Location**: `docs/context/`

**Key Documents**:

- `docs/context/bootstrap/latest.md` - Latest bootstrap/deployment context
- `docs/context/environment/latest.md` - Environment analysis
- `docs/context/research/latest.md` - Research findings

**Usage**: When starting a new session related to deployment, architecture, or infrastructure:

1. Read the relevant latest.md file in docs/context/
2. Use the context to inform decisions and maintain consistency
3. Reference specific decisions and validated patterns from context docs

Phase 5: Cleanup & Maintenance (Week 5)โ€‹

5.1 Create Cleanup Scriptโ€‹

File: src/scripts/cleanup-context-docs.ts

// Prune old context documents based on retention policy
// Keep last 10 per category, archive older ones

CLI Command:

npm run cleanup:context

5.2 Add to CI/CDโ€‹

.github/workflows/context-cleanup.yml:

name: Context Document Cleanup

on:
schedule:
- cron: '0 0 * * 0' # Weekly on Sunday
workflow_dispatch:

jobs:
cleanup:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v3
- name: Setup Node
uses: actions/setup-node@v3
- name: Install dependencies
run: npm ci
- name: Cleanup old contexts
run: npm run cleanup:context
- name: Commit changes
run: |
git config user.name "github-actions"
git config user.email "github-actions@github.com"
git add docs/context/
git commit -m "chore: cleanup old context documents" || echo "No changes"
git push

Usage Patterns for Developersโ€‹

Pattern 1: Starting New Session with Contextโ€‹

Scenario: Developer wants to continue deployment after a week

Without Context:

User: "Continue the OpenShift deployment"
LLM: "Let me detect your platform and analyze your project..."
[Re-runs detection, re-researches, loses previous decisions]

With Context:

User: "Using the context from docs/context/bootstrap/latest.md,
continue the OpenShift deployment"

LLM: [Reads context]
"I see from the bootstrap context that:
- Platform: OpenShift (95% confidence)
- Validated pattern: Multicluster GitOps v2.0
- Bootstrap ADR: docs/adrs/bootstrap-deployment-1234.md
- Last execution: Phase 2 complete, Phase 3 pending

Continuing with Phase 3: Deployment Validation..."

Pattern 2: Onboarding New Team Memberโ€‹

Scenario: New developer joins the project

Onboarding Steps:

  1. Read docs/context/README.md - Understanding context system
  2. Read docs/context/bootstrap/latest.md - Current deployment approach
  3. Read docs/context/environment/latest.md - Environment setup
  4. Read relevant ADRs linked in context docs

Value: New developer understands project-specific patterns and decisions quickly without re-discovering them.


Pattern 3: CI/CD Pipeline Consistencyโ€‹

Scenario: CI/CD pipeline needs to deploy consistently

.github/workflows/deploy.yml:

- name: Generate Deployment Context
run: |
# Use bootstrap tool to generate/update context
echo "Using context from docs/context/bootstrap/latest.md"

- name: Deploy using Validated Pattern
run: |
# Reference context for deployment parameters
./bootstrap.sh

Value: Pipeline uses the same validated pattern and configuration across runs.


Pattern 4: Troubleshooting with Historical Contextโ€‹

Scenario: Deployment failed, need to understand what changed

Troubleshooting:

# Compare current context with previous successful deployment
diff docs/context/bootstrap/latest.md \
docs/context/bootstrap/bootstrap-openshift-20250115.md

# Identify what changed between successful and failed deployment

Benefitsโ€‹

For Developersโ€‹

> **Generated**: 2025-01-19T14:30:22.123Z
> **Tool Version**: 1.0.0
> **Project**: mcp-adr-analysis-server

## Quick Reference

Detected **OpenShift** (95% confidence) as deployment platform.
Using validated pattern: **Multicluster GitOps** v2.0 from Red Hat Validated Patterns.
Bootstrap ADR created: `docs/adrs/bootstrap-deployment-1705759822.md`

**Next Steps**: Review bootstrap ADR, then run `./bootstrap.sh` to deploy.

## Execution Summary

- **Status**: Success
- **Confidence**: 95%
- **Key Findings**:
- Primary platform: openshift
- Validated pattern: Multicluster GitOps
- Required files: 12
- Deployment steps: 7

## Detected Context

### Platform/Environment

- **Primary**: openshift
- **All Detected**: openshift, kubernetes, ansible, helm
- **Confidence**: 95%
- **Evidence**:
- `values-global.yaml` (OpenShift Validated Patterns config) - weight: 90%
- `.github/workflows/validate-origin.yaml` (GitOps validation) - weight: 80%
- `charts/` directory (Helm charts) - weight: 70%

### Validated Pattern

- **Name**: Multicluster GitOps
- **Version**: 2.0
- **Platform**: OpenShift
- **Base Repository**: https://github.com/validatedpatterns/multicloud-gitops
- **Documentation**: https://validatedpatterns.io/patterns/multicloud-gitops/
- **Authoritative Sources**:
- Documentation: https://validatedpatterns.io/patterns/multicloud-gitops/ (required)
- Base Code: https://github.com/validatedpatterns/multicloud-gitops (required)
- Framework Guide: https://validatedpatterns.io/learn/vp_openshift_framework/ (required)

### Deployment Plan

- **Recommended Platform**: openshift
- **Confidence**: high
- **Source**: validated-pattern
- **Required Files**: 12
- `values-global.yaml` (Global Helm values)
- `values-hub.yaml` (Hub cluster config)
- `.vault/` (HashiCorp Vault secrets)
- `charts/` (Helm charts)
- **Environment Variables**: 5
- `KUBECONFIG` (required, path to kubeconfig)
- `VAULT_ADDR` (optional, Vault server URL)
- **Estimated Duration**: 20-30 minutes

## Generated Artifacts

- `docs/adrs/bootstrap-deployment-1705759822.md` (Bootstrap ADR)
- `bootstrap.sh` (Deployment script)
- `validate_bootstrap.sh` (Validation script)

## Key Decisions

### 1. Use OpenShift as Deployment Platform

- **Rationale**: Detected with 95% confidence based on `values-global.yaml` (OpenShift Validated Patterns configuration) and GitOps workflow files
- **Alternatives Considered**:
- Kubernetes (70% confidence, but OpenShift-specific files present)
- Docker Compose (30% confidence, not suitable for this architecture)

### 2. Use Multicluster GitOps Validated Pattern

- **Rationale**: Best practice pattern from Red Hat for multi-cluster OpenShift deployments. Provides proven deployment workflow, GitOps automation, and HashiCorp Vault integration.
- **Pattern Features**:
- Multi-cluster management
- GitOps-based deployment
- HashiCorp Vault for secrets
- ArgoCD for continuous deployment

## Usage in Future Sessions

### How to Reference This Context

**For LLMs (Claude, Gemini, GPT-4)**:

"Using the bootstrap context from docs/context/bootstrap/latest.md, continue the OpenShift deployment to Phase 3: Validation"


**For Developers**:
```bash
# Check what was detected
cat docs/context/bootstrap/latest.md

# Reference in CI/CD
echo "Deploying using: $(grep 'Primary platform' docs/context/bootstrap/latest.md)"
  • ADRs:
    • docs/adrs/bootstrap-deployment-1705759822.md (Deployment plan)
  • Configs:
    • values-global.yaml
    • values-hub.yaml
  • Other Contexts:
    • docs/context/environment/latest.md (Environment analysis)

## Next Steps

1. **Review this plan** with the team
2. **Prioritize tools** to integrate first (bootstrap recommended)
3. **Implement Phase 1** (Core Infrastructure)
4. **Test with bootstrap tool** integration
5. **Iterate** based on usage feedback
6. **Roll out** to other tools progressively

**Estimated Timeline**: 4-5 weeks for full implementation
