load-context

name	load-context
description	Load all LTM memories for the current session. Primary method when SessionStart hook is disabled (Windows Terminal bug workaround).

Load Context

Manually loads all LTM memories into the current session context.

When to Use

• Windows Terminal workaround: When the SessionStart "startup" hook is disabled due to Claude Code issue #23083 (stdin bug on Windows Terminal)
• Context refresh: When you want to reload memories mid-session
• Alias: /refresh-memories does the same thing

Usage

Use the MCP tool (works in all projects):

mcp__anima__memory(action="refresh")

Or via CLI (Anima project only):

uv run anima load-context

What It Does

1. Resolves current agent (Anima) and project
2. Loads ALL memories at once (no deferred loading - --all flag is default)
3. Checks for recent dreams and cognitive dissonances
4. Checks curiosity queue for research prompts
5. Outputs formatted memory block for context injection

Note: When called from CLI, --all is automatic. No need to run /load-deferred separately.

Subconscious memories are now indexed automatically at session end. Use /recall --subconscious to search past dialogues.

Configuration

To disable automatic memory injection (workaround for Windows Terminal issue #23083):

1. Remove the "startup" matcher from SessionStart hooks in .claude/settings.local.json
2. Start Claude Code normally (no freeze)
3. Run /load-context to load memories manually

The other matchers (resume, compact, clear) can remain - they fire after the session is interactive.

Output

Returns the full session start context including:

• Memory DSL block with all loaded memories
• Dream prompts (if recent dreams)
• Dissonance alerts (if contradictions need resolution)
• Curiosity prompts (if research is due)

Difference from /load-deferred

• /load-context: Loads ALL memories (full session start)
• /load-deferred: Loads only the memories that were deferred due to 25KB hook output limit

Use /load-context when auto_inject is disabled. Use /load-deferred after greeting when auto_inject is enabled.
