A command for managing project and workflow context across coding sessions, including handoffs, to-do items, and status information.

In plain words

Why use it?
It helps preserve what needs to happen next when work continues in a new session and keeps pending tasks visible.

Command for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: allowed-tools in frontmatter. Also seen: names the AskUserQuestion tool.

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is bash .spec-flow/scripts/bash/session-manager.sh handoff.

Good fit Use it to create a handoff document, view or add backlog items, and check the current session and feature status.

Getting it into your agent

It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

context scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 397 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/context — Consolidated Context Management

Current Directory: !pwd

TO-DOS File: !test -f TO-DOS.md && echo "exists" || echo "missing"

Active Features: !ls -d specs/*/state.yaml 2>/dev/null | wc -l || echo "0"

Session Manager: !test -f .spec-flow/scripts/bash/session-manager.sh && echo "available" || echo "missing"

  • /context next → Create handoff document for continuing work in fresh context
  • /context todos → View and select from backlog
  • /context add <desc> → Add item to backlog
  • /context status → Show current session and workflow status

Helps maintain continuity across sessions and manage work backlog.

Step 1: Parse Action Argument

Extract first argument as action:

$action = first word of $ARGUMENTS
$remaining = rest of $ARGUMENTS

If no action provided: Use AskUserQuestion to ask:

{
  "question": "What context operation do you need?",
  "header": "Context Action",
  "multiSelect": false,
  "options": [
    {
      "label": "next",
      "description": "Create handoff document for fresh context"
    },
    {
      "label": "status",
      "description": "Show current session and workflow status"
    },
    {
      "label": "todos",
      "description": "View and select from outstanding items"
    },
    {
      "label": "add",
      "description": "Add something to backlog"
    }
  ]
}

Step 2: Execute Action Based on Type

<when_argument_is value="next">

Create Handoff Document

Purpose: Analyze current conversation and create handoff document for continuing work in a fresh context.

Implementation Steps:

  1. Analyze current conversation:

    • Review conversation history
    • Identify incomplete tasks
    • Extract key decisions and context
    • Note any blockers or dependencies
  2. Create handoff document:

    • File: HANDOFF-{timestamp}.md
    • Sections:
      • Current State: What was being worked on
      • Completed: What was finished
      • In Progress: What needs continuation
      • Context: Important decisions and rationale
      • Next Steps: Actionable items for next session
      • Files Modified: List of changed files
      • Commands Used: Workflow commands executed

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

context is a command published in the GitHub repository marcusgoll/Spec-Flow (96 stars, last pushed 24d ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 2,458 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings.
