Codebase Context Editor & a New Video Tutorial
... Plus Exciting Developments Ahead
It's been an eventful two-weeks since we introduced the Codebase Context Specification (CCS) to the AI-assisted development community. The response has been incredibly encouraging, with developers showing keen interest in this new approach to documenting codebase context.
New YouTube Tutorial
Due to the high level of interest, we've created a comprehensive YouTube tutorial to help developers get started with CCS:
This video covers:
Creating your first .context.md file
Working with related modules
Incorporating diagrams into your context
Using AI assistants like Claude-dev with CCS
Leveraging the Codebase Context Editor
If you're curious about implementing CCS in your projects, this tutorial is the perfect place to start. It provides a hands-on guide to using CCS effectively in your development workflow.
Introducing the CCS Editor
To make creating and editing CCS files even easier, we've launched the Codebase Context Editor. This web-based tool offers a user-friendly interface for generating .context.md, .contextdocs.md, and .contextignore files.
Key features of the CCS Editor include:
Intuitive form-based input for all CCS fields
Real-time preview of generated files
Built-in validation to ensure your CCS files are correctly formatted (coming soon, beta linter available on npm)
Easy export of your CCS files for immediate use in your projects
Whether you're new to CCS or an experienced user, the CCS Editor streamlines the process of creating comprehensive context documentation for your codebase.
Looking Ahead: Exciting Developments on the Horizon
While we're still in the early stages of adoption, the future of CCS looks bright. We're particularly excited about upcoming developments involving Claude-Dev and the .context project. While we can't reveal all the details just yet, here's a teaser of what's to come:
Stay tuned for more announcements in the coming weeks. We're confident these developments will take CCS to the next level, making it an indispensable tool for AI-assisted development.
