About ContextHouse
ContextHouse is a structured folder of 55 plain-text files designed to provide persistent context for AI assistants such as Claude or ChatGPT. The system organizes information into dedicated rooms—such as Now.md for current tasks, Projects/ for active work, Decisions/ for past choices, and People/ for important contacts—so the AI can reference relevant context before responding. Users point their AI to the folder, allowing it to read the contents and apply predefined rules for where to look for specific information. The setup includes plain-text instruction files that guide the AI’s behavior, ensuring consistent and context-aware responses. A weekly steward feature prompts the AI to propose minor organizational adjustments, which the user must approve. The folder remains entirely user-owned and can be edited or synced across platforms like Google Drive or OneDrive. The system is compatible with multiple AI platforms and does not require an account or ongoing subscription beyond the initial purchase.
