Context Reload
The master command for getting up to speed.
Use after:
/clearcommand- Context compaction
- Session start
- Anytime context feels thin
The Reload Sequence
Execute in order. Each builds on the previous.
1. CONVERSATION HISTORY (Who was I? What was I doing?)
cd ~/.claude/services
python3 conversation-search.py --list-sessions | head -5
Then search for the current project:
python3 conversation-search.py "PROJECT_NAME" --max 3 --full
Capture: Last task, pending items, user preferences.
2. DOCUMENTATION INDEX (What should I know?)
find . -name "*.md" -type f -not -path "*/.git/*" -not -path "*/node_modules/*" | xargs grep -n "^# " 2>/dev/null | head -30
Capture: Doc structure, key files, where to dig deeper.
3. CODEBASE INDEX (How does it work?)
# Entry points
rg "if __name__|^func main" --type py --type go -l 2>/dev/null | head -10
# Classes
rg "^class " --type py -c 2>/dev/null | head -15
# API routes (if applicable)
rg "@(app|router)\.(get|post|put|delete)" --type py -c 2>/dev/null | head -10
Capture: Entry points, core abstractions, API surface.
4. CONFIG SCAN (How is it configured?)
ls pyproject.toml package.json app.yaml cloudbuild.yaml .env* 2>/dev/null
ls .github/workflows/*.y*ml 2>/dev/null | head -5
Capture: Build system, cloud config, CI/CD, environment.
5. GIT STATE (What's in flight?)
git status --short | head -15
git branch -v | grep "^\*"
git log --oneline -5
Capture: Current branch, uncommitted work, recent direction.
6. PROJECT RULES (How should I behave?)
cat CLAUDE.md 2>/dev/null | head -50
Capture: Project-specific instructions, patterns, constraints.
One-Shot Reload (Copy-Paste)
echo "=== SESSIONS ===" && cd ~/.claude/services && python3 conversation-search.py --list-sessions | head -3 && cd - > /dev/null
echo "=== DOCS ===" && find . -name "*.md" -not -path "*/.git/*" | xargs grep -n "^# " 2>/dev/null | head -15
echo "=== CODE ===" && rg "if __name__|^func main" --type py --type go -l 2>/dev/null | head -5
echo "=== CONFIGS ===" && ls pyproject.toml package.json app.yaml .env* 2>/dev/null
echo "=== GIT ===" && git status --short | head -10 && git branch -v | grep "^\*"
After Reload
You now have:
| Know | Source |
|---|---|
| What I was working on | Conversation history |
| How the project is organized | Doc index |
| How the code is structured | Codebase index |
| How it's configured | Config scan |
| What's in flight | Git status |
| Project-specific rules | CLAUDE.md |
Next: Continue previous task OR ask user what's next.
