      <p class="lead">
        Context-Driven Engineering (CDE) treats <strong>context as the primary engineering artifact</strong>
        and code as a derived outcome, especially in AI-assisted development.
        The goal is simple: make design intent explicit enough that both humans and AI agents can work reliably.

        <li><strong>Explicit design intent</strong> (vision, specs, architecture, constraints)</li>
        <li><strong>Coherent documentation</strong> that is usable as execution context</li>
        <li><strong>Reliable collaboration</strong> between humans and AI coding agents</li>

        CDE is intentionally <strong>worldview-agnostic</strong>.
