ctx

# ctx Use ctx to ground your work in relevant prior agent sessions. Search local history for earlier decisions, constraints, attempts, and evidence. When ctx blame is available, use it to trace code and Git artifacts to the agent session that produced them. ctx retrieves source material; you perform the analysis. Keep every conclusion grounded in the retrieved evidence. ## Prerequisites - Require the `ctx` CLI to be installed and set up. If it is missing and installing tools is appropriate for the task, use the installer for the current platform. macOS and Linux: ```bash curl -fsSL https://ctx.rs/install | sh ``` Windows PowerShell: ```powershell irm https://ctx.rs/install.ps1 | iex ``` - If ctx is installed but not initialized, run: ```bash ctx setup ``` - First setup can take time while ctx indexes past sessions. Allow setup to finish or keep it running in an appropriate background session. - If ctx remains unavailable, say so and do not invent history or provenance. ## Get help and full documentation This skill provides top-level workflow guidance, not a complete ctx command reference. When exact command behavior, options, output formats, installation, or troubleshooting details matter, consult help from the installed version rather than guessing: ```bash ctx <command> --help ctx docs search "<topic>" ctx docs show <topic> ctx docs list ``` Prefer `ctx docs search` and `ctx docs show` for agent use because they return concise text...
