Provenance

A File-Based Context Engineering System supported by a continuity layer, and enhanced with adaptation protocols.

My system is built on top of a File-based Context Engineering system that helps maintain a source of truth about what you have done, what you are doing, and what you should do next. I’m calling it Provenance.

Provenance improves token usage, session memory, model and skill choice, system behavior,  GitHub hygiene and internal auditing.     

I point an AI assistant at the right context and instruction files. Every output is a file I can open, edit and iterate on until the task is complete.

I can trace every step of my work and reproduce it as needed. 

The infographic and the video above were both built with using Provenance.

Watch this breakdown of how context engineering with stages turns a big job into steps I can check as I go.

The full method in one image: the problem it solves, how it runs, and what comes out the other end.
