README usage notes
| Variable | Default | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| CONTEXT_MODE_DIR | Adapter default, for example ~/.codex/context-mode or ~/.claude/context-mode | Since v1.0.147. Absolute writable root for context-mode storage. Sessions and stats use <root>/sessions; indexed content uses <root>/content. Empty or whitespace-only values are treated as unset and shown by ctx_doctor; non-empty values must be absolute. ~ is not expanded. |
Workflow fit and practical value
The current taxonomy places Context Mode under Development, Productivity, Meta & Tools, with tags such as Context, Shell output, Session state. That means the skill should be evaluated through the lens of repeatable work: what task it helps an AI agent perform, what context the agent needs, what output a user should expect, and whether the workflow can be reused as a team SOP. The archived README is used as the first source of truth whenever it includes feature lists, examples, setup notes, or usage guidance....
Installation
Platforms are grouped by install complexity. Hook-capable platforms get automatic routing enforcement. Non-hook platforms need a one-time routing file copy.
<details open>
<summary><strong>Claude Code</strong> — plugin marketplace, fully automatic</summary>
**Prerequisites:** Claude Code v1.0.33+ (claude --version). If /plugin is not recognized, update first: brew upgrade claude-code or npm update -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code.
**Install:**
/plugin marketplace add mksglu/context-mode
/plugin install context-mode@context-modeRestart Claude Code (or run /reload-plugins).
**Verify:**
/context-mode:ctx-doctorAll checks should show [x]. The doctor validates runtimes, hooks, FTS5, and plugin registration.
**Routing:** Automatic. The SessionStart hook injects routing instructions at runtime — no file is written to your project. The plugin registers all hooks (PreToolUse, PostToolUse, PreCompact, SessionStart) and 11 MCP tools — six sandbox tools (ctx_batch_execute, ctx_execute, ctx_execute_file, ctx_index, ctx_search, ctx_fetch_and_index) plus five meta-tools (ctx_stats, ctx_doctor, ctx_upgrade, ctx_purge, ctx_insight).
| Slash Command | What it does |
|---|---|
| /context-mode:ctx-stats | Context savings — per-tool breakdown, tokens consumed, savings ratio. |
| /context-mode:ctx-doctor | Diagnostics — runtimes, hooks, FTS5, plugin registration, versions. |
| /context-mode:ctx-index | Index a local file or directory into the persistent FTS5 knowledge base. |
| /context-mode:ctx-search | Search previously indexed content. |
| /context-mode:ctx-upgrade | Pull latest, rebuild, migrate cache, fix hooks. |
| /context-mode:ctx-purge | Permanently delete all indexed content from the knowledge base. |
| /context-mode:ctx-insight | Personal analytics dashboard — 90 metrics, 37 insight patterns, 4 composite scores (productivity, quality, delegation, context health) across 23 event categories. Opens a local web UI. |
> **Note:** Slash commands are a Claude Code plugin feature....
