Search context-mode's persistent FTS5 knowledge base for previously indexed local project content, documentation, or session memory. Trigger: /context-mode:ctx-search
tools
Use context-mode tools (ctx_execute, ctx_execute_file) instead of Bash/cat when processing large outputs. Triggers: "analyze logs", "summarize output", "process data", "parse JSON", "filter results", "extract errors", "check build output", "analyze dependencies", "process API response", "large file analysis", "page snapshot", "browser snapshot", "DOM structure", "inspect page", "accessibility tree", "Playwright snapshot", "run tests", "test output", "coverage report", "git log", "recent commits", "diff between branches", "list containers", "pod status", "disk usage", "fetch docs", "API reference", "index documentation", "call API", "check response", "query results", "find TODOs", "count lines", "codebase statistics", "security audit", "outdated packages", "dependency tree", "cloud resources", "CI/CD output". Also triggers on ANY MCP tool output that may exceed 20 lines. Subagent routing is handled automatically via PreToolUse hook.
content-media
Purge the context-mode knowledge base. Permanently deletes all indexed content and resets session stats. This is destructive and cannot be undone. Trigger: /context-mode:ctx-purge
development
Test-driven development with red-green-refactor loop. Use when user wants to build features or fix bugs using TDD, mentions "red-green-refactor", wants integration tests, or asks for test-first development.
