Context Skill

Use this skill before implementation to reduce rework and align with existing decisions.

Team-awareness

Read active team config from .codex-workflow/config/active-team.json when present. Use its architecture_root and memory_root to locate context sources.

Modes

Quick mode

Use when the user asks for a fast orientation.

1. •Read <memory_root>/memory-log.md.
2. •Read project overview context file(s).
3. •If a topic is provided, search memory for topic keywords.
4. •Return a short "recent activity + relevant references" summary.

Full mode (default)

1. •Infer work type from request:
   • •new-endpoint, new-model, bug-fix, auth-change, testing
2. •Load relevant ADR summaries (limit to most relevant).
3. •Load relevant patterns for the inferred work type.
4. •Load related entity/context notes from memory.
5. •Return:
   • •work-type summary
   • •relevant ADRs
   • •relevant patterns
   • •checklist for implementation

Token discipline

• •Prioritize summaries over long excerpts.
• •Limit loaded references to what is necessary for the task at hand.
