SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Researches a topic, library, or API using available tools (Context7, Firecrawl, WebSearch) and stores a persistent context brief in .context/ that informs future coding sessions. Use when the user wants to pre-research a technology before coding with it.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Persist context briefs for reuse across coding sessions.
  • Respect a configurable source priority and preferences stored in .context/config.md to tailor research scope.
  • Generate and save concise, cited summaries to .context/ using a slugified topic filename for easy discovery.

Quick Start

Create a context brief for a topic of your choice and save it to .context/slug.md
