SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? ContextHub exposes roughly 73 ch_* MCP tools plus a family of /contexthub:* skills, and many of them sound alike (search vs discover vs memory, record_decision vs create_memo vs write_context). This Skill removes the guesswork by acting as a routing map that tells you exactly which tool or skill fits your current intent. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Orientation workflow: Calls ch_get_memory_context first to bundle project, mission, memos, sessions, and decisions, then routes to /contexthub:connect if no project is linked. - Intent-to-tool routing table: Maps common goals (code exploration, planning, audits, research, missions, SOPs, resume) to the right tool or skill. - Tiebreaker guidance: Disambiguates similar tools such as ch_ocxp_search vs ch_ocxp_query vs ch_ocxp_grep, and ch_record_decision vs ch_create_memo vs ch_write_context. - Use Case: You join a ContextHub project and wonder whether to use ch_search_memory or ch_discover_context to find past decisions. Invoke this Skill to get the answer: ch_search_memory recalls decisions, while ch_discover_context searches knowledge. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to run /contexthub:start with your question, such as which tool to use for attaching a document to a mission.

FAQPage Schema
How do I choose the right ContextHub tool for my task?

Invoke the start skill, which maps your intent to the correct ch_* tool or /contexthub:* skill. It begins with ch_get_memory_context to orient, then routes tasks like code exploration, planning, or research to the appropriate command.

What is the difference between ch_search_memory and ch_discover_context?

ch_search_memory recalls past decisions and findings from long-term memory semantically. ch_discover_context searches knowledge sources such as the project knowledge base, docs, web, and library documentation.

When should I use ch_record_decision vs ch_create_memo vs ch_write_context?

Use ch_record_decision for durable architectural decisions, ch_create_memo for trackable issues or findings with status, and ch_write_context for documents attached to missions or projects. Never use a memo as a document.

What should I do first when starting in a ContextHub project?

Call ch_get_memory_context first to receive a bundle of project, mission, memos, sessions, decisions, and auto-SOPs. If it returns NO_PROJECT, run /contexthub:connect to link a workspace and project.

How do OCXP code search tools differ in ContextHub?

ch_ocxp_search finds code by meaning, ch_ocxp_query finds by type or relationship, and ch_ocxp_grep matches literal strings or regex. Always run ch_ocxp_warmup first with an active project UUID set via ch_set_project.
