Save Context

Save Context

Save current session state to CONTEXT-{stream}-llm.md with LLM-optimized format.

Target: 1200-1500 tokens MAX | Speed: 3-5 seconds

⚠️ AskUserQuestion Guard

CRITICAL: After EVERY AskUserQuestion call, check if answers are empty/blank. Known Claude Code bug: outside Plan Mode, AskUserQuestion silently returns empty answers without showing UI.

If answers are empty: DO NOT proceed with assumptions. Instead:

1. Output: "⚠️ Questions didn't display (known Claude Code bug outside Plan Mode)."
2. Present the options as a numbered text list and ask user to reply with their choice number.
3. WAIT for user reply before continuing.

Performance Rules

1. Use rtk for ALL shell commands
2. Parallel tool calls — ALL independent calls in one message
3. Minimize round-trips — gather all data phase 1, reason phase 2, write phase 3

Workflow

Phase 1: Gather Data (parallel)

Bash: rtk ls openspec/changes/ + rtk ls -t CONTEXT-*llm.md

Stream resolution: First word of $ARGUMENTS = stream name (^[a-zA-Z0-9_-]{1,50}$), rest = description. Empty → reuse prior /load-context stream or AskUserQuestion.

Phase 1b: Detect Thinking Artifacts (parallel with Phase 1)

If $PRAXIS_DIR is set:

Bash: ls -t "$PRAXIS_DIR/thinking"/*/{project}/ 2>/dev/null | head -10

Where {project} = current project folder name. Collect recent artifact paths written during this session (match conversation timestamps/topics).

If $PRAXIS_DIR is unset or empty: skip silently — no error, no warning.

Phase 2: Analyze & Synthesize (single pass)

From conversation (last 15-20 messages):

1. Next — infer 3 tasks from OpenSpec/conversation (IMPORTANT: use heading "Next" — Claude Code compaction grep-matches next/todo/pending/remaining keywords for survival priority)
2. Session — progression, decisions, thinking, unexpected (780 tokens max)
3. Hot Files — max 10 discussed/edited
4. Focus & Goal — 1-2 sentence focus + goal
5. Thinking Artifacts (if Phase 1b found any) — list paths only, no content

Phase 3: Write & Report

Write CONTEXT file using template.

Stream naming: "default" → CONTEXT-llm.md, "{name}" → CONTEXT-{name}-llm.md

Phase 3b: Auto-archive to done/

If status is done or parked → move file to done/ subfolder:

Bash: mkdir -p done && mv CONTEXT-{stream}-llm.md done/

Report: "📦 Archived to done/ (status: {status})"

See reference.md for CONTEXT file template, quality self-check, and done/ archival rules.
