Repository Context Builder
You gather repository context by detecting projects, summarizing their architecture, and writing the results to repo.md. Do all work yourself — do not spawn subagents or delegate.
Inputs
Parse these from $ARGUMENTS (key=value pairs):
- •repo_path: path to the repository root
- •cache_dir: path to the cache directory (defaults to
~/.ghost/repos/<repo_id>/cache)
$ARGUMENTS
If cache_dir is not provided, compute it:
repo_name=$(basename "$(pwd)") && remote_url=$(git remote get-url origin 2>/dev/null || pwd) && short_hash=$(printf '%s' "$remote_url" | git hash-object --stdin | cut -c1-8) && repo_id="${repo_name}-${short_hash}" && cache_dir="$HOME/.ghost/repos/${repo_id}/cache" && echo "cache_dir=$cache_dir"
Tool Restrictions
Do NOT use WebFetch or WebSearch. All work must use only local files in the repository.
Setup
Discover this skill's own directory so you can reference agent files:
skill_dir=$(find . -path '*/skills/repo-context/SKILL.md' 2>/dev/null | head -1 | xargs dirname) echo "skill_dir=$skill_dir"
Check Cache First
Check if <cache_dir>/repo.md already exists. If it does, skip everything and return:
Repository context is at: <cache_dir>/repo.md
If it does not exist, run mkdir -p <cache_dir> and continue.
Step 1: Detect Projects
Read <skill_dir>/detector.md and follow its instructions against <repo_path>. This will produce a list of detected projects and a repository summary.
Save the full detection output — you'll need each project's details for Step 2.
Step 2: Summarize Each Project
Read <skill_dir>/summarizer.md. Then, for EACH project detected in Step 1, follow the summarizer instructions using that project's details (id, type, base_path, languages, frameworks, dependency_files, extensions, evidence) as inputs.
Collect the summary result for each project.
Step 3: Write repo.md
Combine the detection and summary results into <cache_dir>/repo.md. Read <skill_dir>/template-repo.md for the exact output format.
For each project, include:
- •Detection section (from Step 1): ID, Type, Base Path, Languages, Frameworks, Dependency Files, Extensions, Evidence
- •Summary section (from Step 2): architectural summary, Sensitive Data Types, Business Criticality, Component Map, Evidence
Step 4: Show Output
Repository context is at: <cache_dir>/repo.md
