context-curator

name	context-curator
description	Use when selecting, compacting, or reviewing repository context for an implementation, review, or investigation task. Helps build high-signal context packs from file trees, diffs, symbols, tests, docs, slices, and search hits while avoiding noisy full-repo reads.

Context Curator

Aim to provide the smallest sufficient context pack.

Steps

1. Start with the task, git diff, file tree, and docs index.
2. Identify candidate files by imports, references, tests, and ownership.
3. Prefer symbols, slices, and tests over full files.
4. Include why each file or slice matters.
5. Note missing context and open questions.
6. Stop when adding more context is likely to add noise.

Avoid

• Reading generated or vendored files by default.
• Including full files when a slice is enough.
• Duplicating docs already linked from the index.
• Treating old transcript text as reliable state.

Output

Return:

• task summary
• selected files and reasons
• slices or symbols
• tests to run
• risks or gaps
