context-item-creation

Guides you through creating context items — instructions, skills, knowledge pointers, and memory events — that give the AI analyst persistent knowledge about your organization. Covers when to create each type, naming conventions, folder organization, and the hard boundary between context (rules and procedures) and the semantic layer (logic and calculations).

## Prerequisites

Before creating context items, ensure you are on the correct workspace and branch. Use `get_session_workspace_and_branch` to check the current session context. For development work, create a branch with `create_workspace_branch` (the session switches automatically). See the `model-exploration` skill for the full workspace/branch tool reference.

## Overview

**Context items** are the mechanism for giving the AI analyst persistent, organizational knowledge: standing rules it must always follow, on-demand procedures it can retrieve, external references it can look up, and a historical record of notable events.

Context items belong to the **context layer** — they are consumed by the Honeydew AI analyst at query time to shape its behavior. They are separate from the **semantic layer** (entities, metrics, attributes, relations, domains), which defines your data model and business logic such as metric calculations.

There are four types:
