The Context Architect agent helps plan multi-file changes by mapping dependencies
|
|
and identifying all relevant files before making modifications.
|
|
|
|
Use this agent when:
|
|
- Planning refactors that span multiple files
|
|
- Adding features that touch several modules
|
|
- Investigating unfamiliar parts of the codebase
|
|
|
|
Example usage:
|
|
```
|
|
@context-architect I need to add rate limiting to all API endpoints.
|
|
What files are involved and what's the best approach?
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
For best results:
|
|
- Describe the high-level goal, not just the immediate task
|
|
- Let the agent search before you provide files
|
|
- Review the context map before approving changes
|
|
|
|
- path: prompts/context-map.prompt.md
|
|
kind: prompt
|
|
usage: |
|
|
optional
|
|
|
|
Use before any significant change to understand the blast radius.
|
|
Produces a structured map of files, dependencies, and tests.
|

|
|
- path: prompts/what-context-needed.prompt.md
|
|
kind: prompt
|
|
usage: |
|
|
optional
|
|
|
|
Use when Copilot gives a generic or incorrect answer.
|
|
Asks Copilot to explicitly list what files it needs to see.
|
|
|
|
- path: prompts/refactor-plan.prompt.md
|
|
kind: prompt
|
|
usage: |
|
|
optional
|
|
|
|
Use for multi-file refactors. Produces a phased plan with
|
|
verification steps and rollback procedures.
