FAQPage Schema
How do I gather git history and uncommitted changes for project analysis?▼

Session context collects your current git branch, recent commits, and uncommitted changes automatically. It assembles this Git Context data to provide agents with a complete snapshot of your repository state for smarter automation and planning.

What does session context include for automation and planning?▼

Session context gathers Git Context, Recent Plans from .claude/plans/, and Configuration settings into structured output. This enables project-analysis agents to understand your workflow state, pending work, and environment for intelligent decision-making.

Can I use session context during startup, resume, and project transitions?▼

Yes, session context supports startup, resume, clear, and compact session types. It detects and assembles context at each transition point, allowing agents to maintain awareness across different project phases and work sessions.

How do I retrieve recent plans from my project for analysis?▼

Session context automatically exposes recent plans stored in .claude/plans/ as part of its structured output. This makes your planning history available to agents without manual retrieval, enabling context-aware recommendations and automation.

Does session context output JSON for machine consumption?▼

Yes, session context produces optional JSON formatting alongside its standard output. This structured format enables downstream agents and tools to parse and act on Git Context, Recent Plans, and Configuration data programmatically.

What configuration settings influence session behavior?▼

Session context exposes Configuration settings that control how your project analysis agent operates. These settings are gathered and included in the structured output, allowing you to see what parameters shape automation and planning behavior.
