Walks CONTEXT.md and CLAUDE.md files from a given folder up to the git
root, assembles them into a context bundle via shell redirects (file
contents never enter the calling session), then delegates a one-line
question to MiniMax M2.7. Token cost to the main session: paths only.

Skill: ask-minimax-with-context

Purpose

Delegate a focused question to MiniMax M2.7 with automatically gathered project context, without loading any file contents into the current session.

Usage

/ask-minimax-with-context <folder-path> <question>

Example: /ask-minimax-with-context octopus/staging/ Has build 1.4.202 been deployed?

How It Works

  1. Parses args: first token = folder path, rest = question
  2. Walks from the given folder up to the git root collecting CONTEXT.md and CLAUDE.md at each level (deepest-first)
  3. Assembles a context bundle at /tmp/ask-minimax-ctx-<TS>.md via shell redirects — file contents never enter the calling session's context
  4. Writes a prompt file telling MiniMax to read the bundle and answer the question
  5. Runs ask-minimax-run (MiniMax M2.7, read+write tools only)
  6. Reads the result file and summarises concisely
  7. Cleans up temp files (keeps result file)

When to Use

  • Any question where the answer lives in CONTEXT.md or CLAUDE.md files in a project tree
  • Even simple questions — overhead is one line from the user, context savings are real
  • Alternative to loading large context hierarchies into the main session just to answer a single question

Gotchas

  • Path must resolve to a directory that is inside a git repo (used to find the walk ceiling)
  • If no CONTEXT.md or CLAUDE.md files are found, the skill warns and asks whether to proceed with the question only
  • Requires the MiniMax profile at ~/.claude-oreillyit-minimax/provider.env
