Manages and curates foundational project knowledge, constraints, and personas directly within the codebase.
Ground is a specialized skill for Claude Code designed to establish and maintain a structured 'source of truth' for software projects. It helps developers capture essential product context—such as user personas, architectural decisions, technical constraints, and domain vocabulary—within a dedicated `.mill/ground/` directory. By transforming raw observations into organized documentation, Ground ensures that both AI and human collaborators remain aligned on the project's goals, terminology, and standards, ultimately streamlining the creation of specs and user stories.
