Loading Factory Context

What to Load

For the active factory (replace <factory> with net, ang, nest, pyt, pytml, dataeng, kot, swf, or wps):

1. Factory Identity (required)

Read: references/<factory>/CLAUDE.md

This establishes the technology stack, golden rules, and architecture overview.

2. Mandatory Policies (read ALL files in the policies folder — count varies by factory)

Read all: references/<factory>/policies/*.md

Net/Ang/Pyt typically have 6 policies (security, testing, coding-standards + qa, performance, security-testing). DataEng has 6 specialized policies. Kot/Swf/Wps have 3–4. Read them all.

3. Core ADRs (minimum 5; read all when possible)

Read: references/<factory>/adrs/ADR-001-*.md
Read: references/<factory>/adrs/ADR-002-*.md
Read: references/<factory>/adrs/ADR-003-*.md
Read: references/<factory>/adrs/ADR-004-*.md
Read: references/<factory>/adrs/ADR-005-*.md

For tasks touching infrastructure, security, testing, or CI/CD: read all ADRs (count varies 10–15 by factory).

After Loading

Confirm to the user (or yourself if running autonomously):

"Factoria context loaded for factory: <factory>. 3 policies and N ADRs active."

Then proceed with the original user task.

Red Flags

Thought	Reality
"I already know this factory's rules"	Context windows are fresh each session. Read them.
"Loading all ADRs is too many tokens"	ADRs are the contract. Skipping them means violations.
"I'll load later if needed"	Load NOW, before any code generation.
