Context Prime

Load task-specific context dynamically based on task type.

Arguments

• $ARGUMENTS: Task type (bug, feature, review, chore, research) or custom description

Instructions

You are loading task-specific context to prime the agent for focused work.

Step 1: Determine Task Type

Parse $ARGUMENTS to determine task type:

Type	Context Focus
bug	Recent commits, test files, error patterns
feature	Architecture, related modules, API patterns
review	Style guide, test patterns, changed files
chore	Project structure, tooling, configs
research	Documentation, external resources, examples
(custom)	Infer appropriate context from description

Step 2: Execute Discovery

For all types - Run:

git status
git ls-files | head -50

Type-specific discovery:

bug:

git log --oneline -10
git diff HEAD~5 --stat

feature:

ls -la src/
ls -la lib/

review:

git diff --stat
git log --oneline -5

chore:

ls -la
cat package.json | head -20  # or equivalent manifest

research:

ls -la docs/ 2>/dev/null || echo "No docs directory"
ls -la ai_docs/ 2>/dev/null || echo "No ai_docs directory"

Step 3: Load Essential Files

For all types - Read:

• README.md (if exists)

Type-specific reads:

bug:

• Recent test files related to area
• Configuration files

feature:

• Architecture documentation
• Similar feature implementations

review:

• Style guide or linting config
• Test patterns

chore:

• Tooling documentation
• Build/deploy configs

research:

• Existing documentation
• Reference materials

Step 4: Report Understanding

Output

Summarize loaded context:

## Context Primed: [Type]

**Task Type:** [bug/feature/review/chore/research]
**Files Loaded:** [count]

### Project State
- Branch: [current branch]
- Status: [clean/dirty]
- Recent changes: [summary]

### Loaded Context
- [File 1]: [brief description]
- [File 2]: [brief description]

### Ready For
[What this priming prepares you for]

### Context Efficiency
This priming loaded ~[X] tokens of task-specific context.
Remaining capacity: [estimate]

Notes

• Priming loads fresh, relevant context for the task at hand
• Prefer priming over static CLAUDE.md for task-specific work
• See @context-priming-patterns.md for pattern details
• See @rd-framework.md for reduce and delegate strategies
