Project knowledge
The durable memory of your project — goals, constraints, decisions, and metrics that Ask and the agents read before answering.
Project knowledge is a persistent store of context that Ask and the Crux agents read before generating anything. It's the difference between generic output and output that sounds like it was written by someone on your team.
What to put in it
Short, factual, current statements:
- Goals — "Increase activation of self-serve signups to 40% by Q4."
- Constraints — "No engineering capacity for native mobile before 2027."
- Decisions — "We chose usage-based pricing (decided 2026-05-14)."
- Key metrics — "Current churn: 3.1% monthly; NPS 42."
- Definitions — "'Activation' means a first project shared within 7 days."
How it's used
When you ask a question or use Generate on a detail field, Crux selects the knowledge entries most relevant to your request and includes them in the AI context, alongside evidence from the research and experience graphs. The agents that seed and update your graphs read it too, so a stated constraint shapes what they propose. The Help agent also reads your plan and workspace context when you ask product questions in the app.
Where to find it
Open Project knowledge from your project. Entries can be added by hand, and the agents sometimes propose knowledge updates — for example after a decision is recorded — always subject to your review.
Keep it pruned
Stale knowledge is worse than no knowledge: review the list at milestones and delete or update entries that no longer hold. Aim for a screenful of high-value statements rather than an archive.
