Automatic context detection works by analyzing explicit overrides, prompt content signals, and project repository structure to classify whether your task is development-focused or knowledge-focused, then tailors workflow behavior accordingly.

Yes, you can force manual context detection overrides by using the /octo:km command to switch to knowledge mode, with the automatic context detection system serving as the fallback mechanism for all other prompts.

The best way to auto-detect project context is to scan user prompts for content signals and inspect the repository structure to accurately classify the active mode, eliminating the need for manual workflow toggles.

Yes, context detection inspects repository structure alongside checking for knowledge-mode override files and scanning prompt content to accurately classify whether the current task requires a development or knowledge workflow.

You need context detection for prompt analysis and agent selection because it automatically determines whether your task is code-focused or research-focused, applying context-aware behavior to output formatting and workflow orchestration.
