/refresh

Silently reload project context by reading critical configuration files.

Usage

/refresh    # Silent context reload

Execution Steps

1. Read Core Configuration

Read: CLAUDE.md
Read: .claude/memories/about-taylor.md

Error if CLAUDE.md missing: "CLAUDE.md not found"

2. Read Recent Memories

Get today's date and read memories from the last 3 days:

Bash: date +%Y-%m-%d  # Get today's date
Bash: ls .claude/memories/2026-01-*.json | tail -10  # Recent memory files

Read any memory files from the last 3 days (by filename date prefix).

3. Read Shared Documentation

Glob: shared/docs/**/*.md
# Read each found file

Skip silently if not found.

4. Get Recent Activity

Bash: git log -3 --format="%h - %s"

Skip if git unavailable.

5. Output

Context refreshed

Silent operation: Do NOT summarize files, list what was read, or explain context.

• Before major planning work
• When context feels stale
