Sterile cockpit context gating
#5 · Domain: Aviation · Category: quality-control · Difficulty: 🟡 Medium
Core principle
Below 10,000 feet — flight ops only. No idle chatter at critical moments.
AI problem addressed
Irrelevant context dilutes focus during parse/validate phases.
Implementation
| Phase | Active context | | Takeoff (parse) | Input variables + explicit constraints only | | Cruise (generate) | Accumulated history allowed | | Landing (validate) | Validation rules + quality checks only | Restore full context between phases as needed.
Boundaries
- Prototype as prompt scaffold (🟢) before full pipeline middleware (🟡/🔴)
