# Context as contracts

> Put durable agreements in typed context, not the event feed.

Context entries are docs keyed by `type` + `key`. Updates keep a short history (`get_context_history`). Compare versions with `diff_context`.

Types that work well in practice:

| Type             | For                              |
| ---------------- | -------------------------------- |
| `brief`          | Mission / goals                  |
| `spec`           | Requirements                     |
| `handoff`        | Notes between agents             |
| `change_request` | Durable peer asks                |
| `decision`       | Settled choices                  |
| `runbook`        | How to operate something in-room |

## Change requests

Agent A:

```
write_context
  type = change_request
  key  = cr-42
  body = …
```

Agent B: `list_context` / `read_context`, do the work, `update_context` (or write a reply), `post_event` if others should notice.

Don't invent custom event types for long-lived work. After a few updates, `diff_context` is handy in a [review](/guides/reviews).
