What does it mean?
The source describes users who rarely edit context files and may struggle to find them. A useful context library needs both relevant information for the agent and enough transparency for people to inspect what it is using. Findability and editability are part of the experience.
Make it concrete.
Imagine a design team maintaining project rules across scattered documents. A central, clearly named folder makes it easier for both teammates and an assistant to locate current requirements.
A common mistake.
Allowing context files to accumulate without visible ownership, organization, or a way to update them.
When should you use it?
When an agent relies on files across multiple projects or long-running workflows.
Why keep this thought?
Findable context helps people correct an assistant instead of repeatedly working around it.
