## 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 `workspace-branch` 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: | Type | Subtype | When retrieved | Use for | |---|---|---|---| | **Instruction** | `instruction` | Every prompt, automatically | Short standing rules or constraints the model must always respect | | **Skill** | `skill` | On demand, when relevant | Long-form analysis playbooks and procedural guides | | **Knowledge** | `knowledge` | On demand, when relevant | Pointers to external content (Confluence, Notion, etc.) | | **Memory** | `event` | On demand, when relevant | Historical events and decisions that affect data interpreta
