RETIRE THE WORD “CONTEXT”

Summary from the TLDR Founders newsletter

An agent with access to every Slack thread and call transcript at your company can still miss what you need done today. Linear's cofounder argues that storing more information still leaves someone to decide what the work is for and what a good result looks like. A useful briefing is short because someone chose what to leave out, so he recommends explaining why decisions were made and what the agent shouldn't change. Those answers need to stay current, since a six-month-old explanation can still look clear and credible after the team has changed direction.
