/ask-minimax-with-context Skill

Walk CONTEXT.md and CLAUDE.md files from a given folder up to the git root. Assemble them into a context bundle via shell redirects — file contents never appear in this session. Then delegate a one-line question to MiniMax; only a concise answer flows back.

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

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

Instructions

Step 0 — Verify profile readiness

test -f ~/.claude-oreillyit-minimax/provider.env && echo "minimax profile: ready" || echo "minimax profile: MISSING"

If MISSING, tell the user the profile is not configured and stop.

Step 1 — Parse arguments

From $ARGUMENTS:

• Path: the first whitespace-delimited token
• Question: everything after the first token

If either is missing, tell the user the correct usage format and stop.

Step 2 — Generate a timestamp

date +%s

Note the integer as TS. Use it as a suffix on all temp files.

Step 3 — Walk the tree and assemble the context bundle

Run the following bash script, substituting the literal values of PATH_ARG (from Step 1) and TS (from Step 2) before executing. Do not use shell variables as placeholders — write the actual values inline.

The script resolves the path to absolute, walks up to the git root collecting CONTEXT.md and CLAUDE.md at each level (deepest first), and shell-redirects each file into the bundle. File contents never appear in stdout — only a summary line is returned.

bash -c '
set -e
path="PATH_ARG"
ts="TS"
bundle="/tmp/ask-minimax-ctx-${ts}.md"

# Resolve to absolute path
case "$path" in
  /*) ;;
  *) path="$(pwd)/$path" ;;
esac
path="${path%/}"

# Find git root (stop walking here)
git_root=$(git -C "$path" rev-parse --show-toplevel 2>/dev/null || echo "")
[ -z "$git_root" ] && git_root="/"

# Walk from given dir up to git root
dir="$path"
count=0
while true; do
  for fname in CONTEXT.md CLAUDE.md; do
    fpath="$dir/$fname"
    if [ -f "$fpath" ]; then
      echo "## Context from: $fpath" >> "$bundle"
      echo "" >> "$bundle"
      cat "$fpath" >> "$bundle"
      echo "" >> "$bundle"
      echo "---" >> "$bundle"
      echo "" >> "$bundle"
      count=$((count + 1))
    fi
  done
  [ "$dir" = "$git_root" ] && break
  parent=$(dirname "$dir")
  [ "$parent" = "$dir" ] && break
  dir="$parent"
done

echo "Bundle assembled: $bundle ($count files)"
'

If the output says (0 files), warn the user that no context files were found and ask whether to proceed with the question only.

Step 4 — Write the prompt file

Use the Write tool to create /tmp/ask-minimax-TS-prompt.txt (replace TS with the actual timestamp integer). Fill in all values — no placeholders in the written file.

You are running in non-interactive (-p) mode. Read the context bundle and answer
the question concisely. Write your full response to the output file specified below.

## Context bundle

Read this file fully before answering: /tmp/ask-minimax-ctx-TS.md

The bundle contains CONTEXT.md and CLAUDE.md files collected from a project directory
tree, deepest-first. Each section is prefixed with "## Context from: <path>" so you
know where each piece of context comes from.

## Question

QUESTION

## Output file

Write your complete response to: /tmp/ask-minimax-TS-result.md

Use the Write tool. Overwrite if it already exists.

## Constraints

- Read the context bundle fully before answering
- Keep your answer concise — this is a focused question, not an open-ended task
- Write the complete result to the output file
- One-line stdout acknowledgement is fine; content goes in the output file

Step 5 — Run the sub-session

Substitute TS with the actual timestamp integer before running:

ask-minimax-run \
  --model MiniMax-M3 \
  --allowedTools "Read,Write" \
  --dangerously-skip-permissions \
  -p "$(cat /tmp/ask-minimax-TS-prompt.txt)" \
  > /tmp/ask-minimax-TS-stdout.txt 2>&1

Show the exit code after it completes.

Step 6 — Collect and present results

1. Read /tmp/ask-minimax-TS-result.md using the Read tool
2. If not found, read /tmp/ask-minimax-TS-stdout.txt as fallback
3. Present a concise summary — do not dump the full file into the conversation
4. Tell the user the result file path if they want the full output

Step 7 — Clean up

rm -f /tmp/ask-minimax-ctx-TS.md /tmp/ask-minimax-TS-prompt.txt /tmp/ask-minimax-TS-stdout.txt

Keep the result file.
