+# Context Files for LLMs and AI Tools 
+
+This directory contains plans, reports, and other context files that are:
+- Used to provide context to LLMs during development
+- Not committed to the repository
+- May be transient or belong in other repositories
+
+## Directory Structure
+
+- `plans/` - Documentation plans and roadmaps
+- `reports/` - Generated reports and analyses
+- `research/` - Research notes and findings
+- `templates/` - Reusable templates for Claude interactions
+
+## Usage
+
+Place files here that you want to reference--for example, using @ mentions in Claude--such as:
+- Documentation planning documents
+- API migration guides
+- Performance reports
+- Architecture decisions
+
+## Example Structure

+
+## Best Practices
+
+1. Use descriptive filenames that indicate the content and date
+2. Keep files organized in appropriate subdirectories
+3. Consider using date prefixes for time-sensitive content (e.g., `2025-07-01-meeting-notes.md`)
+4. Remove outdated files periodically to keep the context relevant
