SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

ContextVault solves the session-death problem by persisting your project knowledge as structured markdown documents, so your AI coding assistant doesn’t lose important decisions, fixes, and learnings between sessions.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Two-tier vault (Global + Project): Save reusable patterns in the global vault and project-specific context in the project vault for fast, relevant loading.
  • Milestone documentation commands: Capture learnings, bug fixes, architectural decisions, and plans using dedicated commands.
  • Index-driven retrieval: Read compact index files at session start and load only the most relevant documents when needed.
  • Session handoffs: Generate continuity summaries so the next session can resume with minimal re-explaining.
  • Works via MCP or native Claude Code integration: Use the MCP server for any MCP-compatible AI tool, or native slash commands/hooks for Claude Code.

Quick Start

Ask your AI assistant to initialize ContextVault in your current project by running the ctx_init command.

Frequently Asked Questions about contextvault

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I persist AI coding session context for cross-session documentation?▼

Cross-session documentation is achieved by storing project knowledge and architectural decisions in a two-tier markdown vault, enabling persistent context retrieval and session handoffs across repeated AI coding sessions.

What is the best way to generate session handoffs for AI coding assistants?▼

Generating session handoffs involves creating continuity summaries from your stored markdown vault, allowing the next AI coding session to resume work with minimal re-explaining of previous bug fixes and plans.

Can I use MCP server tools to manage architectural decision records for AI?▼

Yes, an MCP server provides dedicated tools like ctx_decision and ctx_doc to manage architectural decision records, storing them as structured markdown documents for AI assistants to retrieve via index-based routing.

Does ContextVault work with native Claude Code slash commands or only MCP?▼

ContextVault works with both native Claude Code slash commands and an MCP server, providing consistent vault routing and index-based retrieval for any MCP-compatible AI tool.

How do I structure reusable coding patterns separately from project-specific bug fixes?▼

You structure them using a two-tier vault system, saving reusable patterns in the global vault and project-specific context like bug fixes in the project vault for fast, relevant loading.

When do I need to initialize a documentation vault for my AI coding project?▼

You need to initialize a documentation vault when starting a project requiring continuity, running the ctx_init command to set up the markdown storage structure for capturing learnings and plans.
