The open standard for agent-ready project documentation
One format. Every AI coding agent. Define your project context once — all major AI coding agents understand it automatically.
5 AI tools. 5 config formats. 0 standards.
Every AI coding agent invented its own way to read project context. Your team maintains duplicate files that drift out of sync.

How it works
Three files. Universal compatibility. Zero lock-in.
- 1
Write your context5 min
Create `CONTEXT.md` and a `.context/` directory with your agent definitions and knowledge docs.
- 2
Target platforms2 min
Add `surfcontext.json` to declare which AI platforms to generate config files for.
- 3
AI auto-discovers0 min
Open your project in any supported AI tool. It reads your context automatically — no copy-paste, no per-tool config.
Platform compatibility
SurfContext generates the right config file for each platform from a single source of truth.
