# Adding context

> Provide reference materials and clarifying answers that inform your plan.

The Context tab is where Archie gathers the information it needs to refine your plan. It contains your **initial prompt** and any **clarifying questions** Archie asked.

## The initial prompt

Your initial prompt is the description you typed when you created the project. You can edit it any time. Click **Edit** on the initial prompt card, change the text, save.

## Clarifying questions

After you submit your idea, Archie may ask one or two clarifying questions. Each question has multiple-choice options and a free-text field. You can:

* Pick an option (A, B, C, and so on)
* Type a free-text answer
* Skip the question

Skipping is fine — Archie will use defaults. Answering gives you tighter control.

The questions cover things Archie cannot infer reliably from your prompt — for example, who uses the app, what role plays admin, or which side of a marketplace pays.

## When questions appear

Questions stream in as Archie analyzes your prompt. You will see "Agent is working…" while a question is being prepared. Once a question is ready, you can answer or skip immediately.

## Editing context after the plan exists

You can revisit the Context tab at any time. Editing the initial prompt or answering more questions will inform the next regeneration or [iteration](https://archie.com/docs/features/plan/iterating.md). Existing plan content does not change automatically — use the plan chat to apply the new context.

## FAQ

> **Will my answers retroactively change the plan?**
>
> Not automatically. After updating context, ask the plan chat to apply the change, or regenerate the relevant section.

> **How many questions will Archie ask?**
>
> Usually one or two. Archie only asks when it cannot infer something it needs.
