About This Skill
What it does
Context Mate is a toolkit designed to improve interactions within Claude Code by leveraging information from previous turns and project files. It analyzes your project's state, identifies relevant configuration (like session tracking or phased planning), and recommends appropriate actions or tools. The goal is to provide helpful context and guidance without dictating specific workflows, acknowledging the limitations of context windows.
When to use it
- Starting a new project: To get recommendations for initial planning steps.
- Resuming development: To quickly pick up where you left off in an active development session.
- Maintaining existing projects: To identify areas needing attention or updates.
- Understanding project setup: To see what tools and configurations are already in place.
- Preparing for deployment: To ensure all necessary steps have been taken.
Key capabilities
- Project Scanning: Checks for files like
SESSION.md,PROJECT_BRIEF.md, and directories like.claude/to determine project stage. - Git State Analysis: If the project is a Git repository, analyzes commit history and uncommitted changes.
- Stage-Based Recommendations: Provides tailored recommendations based on whether the project is "New," "Active Development," "Maintenance Mode," or "Mid-Session."
- Slash Command Support: Offers commands like
/context-mate,/continue-session, and/plan-projectfor specific actions. - Agent Integration: Integrates with Claude agents to automate tasks and provide context-aware assistance.
Example prompts
/context-mate- Analyzes the project and provides recommendations./continue-session- Resumes work from a previous session./plan-project- Initiates planning for a new project.
Tips & gotchas
- Context Mate is designed to be flexible; it doesn't enforce specific methodologies.
- The analysis focuses on file presence and Git state, not the content within those files.
- Keep the output brief – Context Mate aims to highlight relevant information without overwhelming you.
