Don't Be DAAFT.
You think Claude knows your project.
Claude is guessing. Every. Single. Session.
The Invisible Problem
You don't see this happening. But it is.
No CLAUDE.md fixes it. No agent memory fixes it. Files change. Context windows shift. Claude can't stay aligned โ so it rediscovers, assumes, and gets it wrong.
Massaged at best. Assumed often. Wrong frequently.
Left unattended, it becomes a silent assassin.

The Reality
70% of software projects fail. Why? Context!
#1 cause: Poor requirements (39%)
#2 cause: Communication breakdown (57%)
Both are context problems.
Your project without .faf? AI starts blind. Every. Single. Time.
With .faf:
100% AI Context โ Zero Drift
Success is up to you (and your idea)!
