Gcontext is a context management system that uses a tree of llms.txt files to provide structured context to AI agents, enabling precise control over what information an agent accesses during support tasks. It stands out by offering a more explicit and user-defined alternative to automatic memory systems like Claude Code's, allowing teams to build a growing repository of runbooks and integration data. It's particularly useful for projects with multiple external dependencies where coordinating agent context becomes complex.
