context new

The new command scaffolds a new data product — an OSI model with companion governance and rules files — inside your existing project.

Usage

context new <name>

Arguments

Argument	Description
name	Name for the data product (e.g. sales-analytics, inventory)

Options

Option	Description	Default
--source <name>	Bind to a named data source from contextkit.config.yaml	—
--context-dir <path>	Path to context directory	context/

Examples

Scaffold a new data product

context new sales-analytics

Creates:

context/
├── models/sales-analytics.osi.yaml
├── governance/sales-analytics.governance.yaml
├── governance/sales-analytics.rules.yaml
└── owners/default-team.owner.yaml

Bind to a specific data source

context new inventory --source warehouse

The scaffolded model includes a data_source: warehouse reference matching your config:

contextkit.config.yaml

data_sources:
  warehouse:
    adapter: postgres
    connection: postgres://localhost:5432/warehouse

Multiple data products

A single ContextKit project can contain multiple data products. Each is an independent model with its own governance, rules, and tier score:

context new sales-analytics --source crm
context new inventory --source warehouse
context new marketing-attribution --source analytics-db

All data products compile together and are served through the same MCP server. Run context tier to see the scorecard for each, or context blueprint to export their AI Blueprints.
