Digital Products — AI Context Loading Order

This document gives the concrete, venture-specific reading order for AI agents working in ventures/digital-products/. It mirrors the Digital Products sequence in the company-level ../../../../docs/ai/context-loading-order.md, with real links into this venture. If the two ever diverge, treat the company-level document as authoritative for sequencing and this document as the resolved, clickable version of it for this venture.

Loading order

  1. Root operating contract../../../../AGENTS.md
  2. Company context-loading order../../../../docs/ai/context-loading-order.md
  3. This venture's operating contract../../AGENTS.md
  4. This venture's AI context summarycontext.md
  5. Venture brief../strategy/venture-brief.md
  6. Product philosophy../strategy/product-philosophy.md
  7. Standards index../standards/README.md, then the specific standards relevant to the task at hand (workbook architecture is almost always relevant when touching a product)
  8. Component catalog../../components/component-catalog.md
  9. This venture's guardrailsguardrails.md
  10. Role routingrole-routing.md, to confirm which agent role the current task belongs to and what additional reading that role requires
  11. The specific product's specification, if the task concerns a product — ../../products/<slug>/, including its data dictionary, calculation specification, and test plan
  12. Applicable financial guardrails, if the product touches personal or business finance — ../standards/financial-product-guardrails.md

Notes

  • This order is additive to, not a replacement for, the company-wide loading order. Steps 1–2 must happen first for any work anywhere in the repository.
  • Skipping steps because a task "looks simple" is a common failure mode this ordering is meant to prevent — a single-cell formula edit in a financial product still implicates the calculation standard and the financial guardrails.
