Context

Context is the information DelegateZero uses to understand how you think, decide, and respond. Rather than relying only on prompts or fixed workflows, DZ builds a structured internal representation or knowledgebase of your judgment from the context you provide. This allows it to act consistently across different situations and channels.

Context can include rules, examples, preferences, reference materials, files, and information about people or accounts and is generally categorized in the following areas (as you can read more about below):

• Policies — Hard rules and boundaries DelegateZero must follow. Always respected. Override all other signals.
• Precedents — Past decisions and outcomes that inform patterns. User-curated.
• Memory — Auto-accumulated behavioral record of decisions made, corrections applied, and patterns observed. Written by DelegateZero, not by you.
• Entities — People, companies, or systems with associated preferences, context, and relationship history.
• Playbooks — Human reasoning for ambiguous or difficult situations.
• Templates — Reusable response structures for tone, format, and shape.
• Sources — Raw reference material. Informs reasoning but does not direct it.

While you can add context in specific categories, you don't need to structure or format this information perfectly as DZ will organize it for you once submitted. We typically recommend you submit new context generally - following the steps as outlined in the next section.
