SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Efficiently identify and read only the relevant .context/ files at task start, avoiding overload from unnecessary data.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Defines a prioritized loading order for context files based on task type (feature, bug, refactor, test, architecture decisions) to minimize unnecessary reads.
  • Guides resumption by providing targeted context slices when resuming work after context resets or switching tasks.
  • Protects context integrity by avoiding any modification to .context/ files during loading and by documenting expected contexts for different task types.

Quick Start

Load the appropriate context for the current task using the context-loader at task start.

FAQPage Schema
How do I load only the relevant project context files for a specific task?

To load relevant project context files, identify the current task type to apply a prioritized discovery order, reading only the necessary slices to minimize unnecessary data overload and read time.

What is the best way to resume a task after a context reset or window switch?

The best way to resume after a context reset is to load targeted context slices based on the specific task type, quickly restoring the necessary project background without reading everything.

Does loading project context modify the existing context files?

No, loading project context does not modify existing files. The read-only loading process protects context integrity by strictly avoiding any modifications to the .context/ directory.

How does task type affect which context files are read?

Task type determines context file selection through a tiered discovery order. Whether the task is a feature, bug, refactor, test, or architecture decision, only the files matching that task profile are read.

Why does reading all project context files at task start cause problems?

Reading all project context files causes data overload and increased read time. Efficient workflows require identifying and loading only the most relevant context slices needed for the specific current task.

Can I use context-loader for an efficient workflow when switching tasks frequently?

Yes, you can use it for efficient workflow management when switching tasks. It provides targeted context slices based on task type, ensuring fast loading without unnecessary reads or file modifications.
