/context-load Skill

context-load

You are reloading project context into your conversation. This is typically run after /clear or when context has been lost.

Pre-gathered context

The context-load script has walked from the current working directory upward, collecting all key index files:

!context-load

Instructions

The output above contains the full project context that would normally be loaded at session start. Internalize it now:

  1. Read and acknowledge the CLAUDE.md file(s) — these contain project guidelines and conventions
  2. Note the directory tree(s) — understand the current repo structure
  3. Read CONTEXT.md if present — this tells you what's actively being worked on
  4. Read MEMORY.md if present — this is the index of accumulated learnings
  5. Read BESTPRACTICES.md if present — these are cross-project best practices
  6. Note git status — understand the current state of the working tree

After internalizing, respond with a brief summary:

  • Which project(s) you're now oriented to
  • Current git status (clean/dirty, branch)
  • Any active context entries worth highlighting

If the user passed arguments (e.g., /context-load from a specific directory), those are available as: $ARGUMENTS

Keep the summary concise — the user knows their project, they just need confirmation that you've reloaded context successfully.
