04 / 06ContextStream Code · first-party coding

AI coding with your project context already loaded.

ContextStream Code is the first-party coding experience for ContextStream. It uses your project memory, Knowledge Stream, Knowledge Atlas, lessons, decisions, guardrails, and ContextCapsules natively — no MCP setup required.

01 Why first-party

MCP works across tools. Code is the native experience.

Universal · MCP Server

Drop ContextStream into Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Cline, Windsurf, and other MCP-compatible tools.

Native · ContextStream Code

StreamPilot guides setup, recall, capsules, and lessons inline. No tool config to maintain.

ContextStream Code does not replace MCP. They are complementary surfaces — use whichever your workflow prefers.
02 Context before action

Before you edit, the project tells you what it has learned.

StreamPilot surfaces the relevant decision, lesson, doc, code context, and guardrail for the file you're about to touch. You see the project's memory before you commit to a change.

03 The state ladder

From empty workspace to a context-live session.

01

No context

Empty workspace. StreamPilot suggests adding a first source — point it at a folder.

02

Source indexed

Read the shape of the project, not the contents. Capture your first decision.

03

Wisdom captured

One decision and one lesson is enough. Start a session.

04

Session active

Run a recall to verify the project remembers what you taught it.

05

Context live

Create a Capsule for the next teammate, client, or agent.

Start a context-aware session.

One decision. One lesson. One session. Watch your AI remember.
