 No context generation implementation was added — this task is a planning artifact only.
 
-## TASK-020 — Generate context files from discovery answers
+## TASK-020 — Generate context files from discovery mappings
 
-Status: Todo
+Status: Done
 
 Role: Implementation Agent
 
 Goal:
 
-Generate initial context files using the approved discovery-to-context mapping.
+Generate context file content using the approved
+discovery-context-mapping.md document.
 
 Implementation Gap:
 
-Discovery answers can be collected, but they are not yet transformed into structured project documentation.
+Mappings now exist, but discovery answers are not yet transformed into context file content.
 
 Acceptance Criteria:
 
-- Add command or function to generate context files from discovery data
+- Read discovery-context-mapping.md ✓
-- Use the approved mapping document
+- Read discovery-log.md ✓
-- Create missing context files safely
+- Populate mapped sections in context files ✓
-- Do not overwrite existing files without explicit behaviour
+- Create missing context files safely ✓
-- Add/update tests
+- Do not overwrite existing content ✓
+- Skip low-confidence answers ✓
+- Add/update tests ✓
 
 Definition of Done:
 
-- Context files can be generated from discovery data
+- Discovery answers appear in the correct context files ✓
-- Existing files are preserved
+- Existing content is preserved ✓
-- Tests pass
+- Tests pass ✓ (114 tests, all passing)
+
+Result
+
+Created `src/rdb_discovery/generate_context.py` module with:
+
+- `CONTEXT_MAP`: Rules mapping each of the 10 discovery questions to target context files and sections (body-fill, table-row, or append-new-section strategies)
+- `generate_context_files(root, min_confidence)`: Main entry point that reads discovery answers, filters by confidence, applies mapping rules, and writes/updates context files safely
+- Three write strategies: TBD-replacement for empty sections, content-appending for existing body-text sections, table-row insertion for risks.md and assumptions.md, and new-section appending when headers don't exist yet
+
+Added `rdb generate` CLI command (accepts `--min-confidence` option).
+
+Fixed a parsing bug in `discovery.py`: escaped pipe characters (`\|`) in discovery answers were creating spurious extra columns during markdown table splitting — now handled with placeholder-based escaping.
+
+Added `tests/test_generate_context.py` with 15 tests:
+- Mapping completeness (all 10 questions, all target files)
+- Confidence filtering (Low → skipped, High/Medium → generated)
+- Body text filling (TBD replacement, existing content append)
+- Table row generation (risks.md and assumptions.md formats)
+- Content preservation verification
+- CLI command availability and error handling
+- Missing file creation safety
+- End-to-end integration flow
