Project Context

Project Context is additional information you can provide to make AI-generated sprints more relevant and accurate. Think of it as a briefing document for Vibe.

The Context tab has two sub-tabs: Project Context (manual) and Codebase Context (automatic via GitHub).

Project Context (Manual)

What to include

The context field accepts markdown and can include:

  • Architecture decisions — "We're using a microservices architecture with Rails API and React frontend"
  • Business rules — "All prices must include tax. Users can only have one active subscription."
  • Constraints — "Must work on mobile Safari. Maximum 2-second page load time."
  • Existing work — "Authentication is already built with Devise. We have a working CI pipeline."
  • Team preferences — "We prefer Stimulus over React for interactivity. Use ViewComponents for UI."

Adding context

  1. Navigate to your project
  2. Click the Context tab
  3. Select the Project Context sub-tab
  4. Write or paste your context in the markdown editor
  5. Click Save Context

Image uploads

You can attach images to your project context — architecture diagrams, wireframes, or mockups. These are stored securely and referenced in the context when generating sprints.

Codebase Context (GitHub)

If you have a Pro or Teams subscription, you can link a GitHub repository to your project. SprintVibe will automatically analyze your codebase and generate an AI Codebase Profile — a structured summary of your tech stack, architecture, patterns, and conventions.

This is far more powerful than manual context because it's based on your actual code. See the GitHub Integration docs for setup instructions.

How AI uses context

When you generate a sprint or chat with Vibe, both the manual project context and the AI codebase profile (if available) are automatically included in the AI prompt. This means: - Sprint stories will reference your actual tech stack and file paths - Acceptance criteria will match your business rules and coding patterns - Story points will account for your constraints and existing code - Tasks will include specific files and classes to modify
