ctx

name	ctx
description	Use or bootstrap the `ctx` CLI to search, start, resume, rename, delete, branch, and inspect saved coding workstreams.

Use this skill when the user wants to recover prior coding context, continue a named workstream, create a new workstream, rename or delete a workstream, branch context, or open the local browser UI.

Requirements:

• If ctx is missing, use the bundled wrapper scripts/ctx.sh.
• scripts/ctx.sh install bootstraps the global install into ~/.contextfun.
• Any other scripts/ctx.sh ... invocation can also auto-install first, then retry the requested command.

Use the single ctx entrypoint:

• ctx install (skill bootstrap helper; installs the global CLI and bundled skills when needed)
• ctx
• ctx list [--this-repo]
• ctx search <query> [--this-repo]
• ctx start <workstream> [--pull]
• ctx resume <workstream> [--compress] [--allow-other-repo]
• ctx rename <new-name> [--from <existing-workstream>]
• ctx delete <workstream> or ctx delete --session-id <id>
• ctx branch <source-workstream> <target-workstream> [--allow-other-repo]
• ctx web --open

The bundled wrapper is available as scripts/ctx.sh <subcommand> ....

Behavior:

• If ctx is missing, bootstrap it with scripts/ctx.sh install or let the wrapper auto-install on first use.
• start creates a new workstream. If the name already exists, ctx automatically creates name (1), name (2), and so on.
• resume only continues an existing workstream. If there is no match, say so plainly instead of silently creating a new one.
• When resuming, summarize the workstream briefly, mention the last task and latest relevant activity, and ask how the user wants to proceed.
• Make it explicit that new context from the current conversation will be appended to the resumed workstream.
• If the user wants to explore without changing the source workstream, branch first.
• Use --this-repo when the user is asking about context related to the current repository.
