fetch-context

Load minimal relevant context for the current task

personAuthor: jakexiaohubgithub

Context Fetcher

Load minimal, task-relevant context following the "minimal by default" philosophy.

Execution

Run the context fetcher agent:

./agents/context-fetcher.sh

Context Philosophy

Minimal by default. Only load what's directly relevant to the current task:

  • Full file contents → Just file paths
  • All documentation → Only relevant sections
  • Complete history → Just recent relevant commits
  • Every test → Only tests for current scope

Context Sources

| Source | What's Loaded | |--------|---------------| | context/purpose.md | Project goals (first 50 lines) | | .claude/claude.md | Project-specific instructions | | .contextium/tasks.json | Current task scope | | .contextium/context-cache/ | Task-specific cached context |

Project Detection

Automatically detects project type:

  • Node.js - package.json
  • Rust - Cargo.toml
  • Python - pyproject.toml, setup.py
  • Go - go.mod

Memory Systems

Reports availability of:

  • Memvid - .contextium/memory.mv2
  • GibRAM - Knowledge graph on port 6161

Caching Task Context

To cache context for a task:

mkdir -p .contextium/context-cache
cat > .contextium/context-cache/my-task.md << 'EOF'
# Context for my-task

## Relevant Files
- src/module.ts - Main implementation
- tests/module.test.ts - Tests

## Notes
- Uses pattern X for Y
- Must maintain backwards compatibility
