refresh-context

A command that updates repository context files from recent Git history and current project details.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to refresh recent commits, changed files, branch details, file and test counts, and other repository activity.
Why use it?
It keeps the coding agent’s project notes current after code changes, so it has less stale information to rely on.

Made for: Claude Code.

Per session 11 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.
When invoked 1,393 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.

Origin original No closer match found in the catalogue.
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 B, and why

refresh-context scanned grade B with 1 finding 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 3d 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.

Refresh Context Files

Usage: /refresh-context or /refresh-context --full

Purpose: Manually refresh Claude Code context files from current repository state


📋 What This Command Does

Refreshes context files in .claude/context/ by analyzing current repository state:

  1. recent-work.md: Updates from git commit history (last 15 commits)
  2. Repository stats: Current file counts, test counts, branch info
  3. Recent file activity: Files changed in last 7 days
  4. Commit categorization: Automatic categorization by type

🚀 Execution

Step 1: Run Update Script

# Quick refresh (recent-work.md only - FAST)
python scripts/workflow/update-context-files.py --recent-work

# View what changed
git diff .claude/context/recent-work.md

Step 2: Verify Update

Check that recent-work.md was updated:

# Check last updated timestamp
head -10 .claude/context/recent-work.md

# View recent commits section
grep -A 20 "Recent Commits" .claude/context/recent-work.md

Step 3: Report Status

Provide user with summary:

- ✅ Context Refreshed

Updated:
- recent-work.md: Last 15 commits, 7 days of file activity
- Repository stats: X commits, Y files, Z tests
- Hot spots identified: [top directories]

Last commit: [hash] - [message]
Branch: [current branch]

Context is now up-to-date with repository state.

🔧 Options

Quick Refresh (Default)

Updates only recent-work.md (fast, ~2-5 seconds):

python scripts/workflow/update-context-files.py --recent-work

Full Refresh (Slower)

Note: testing-patterns.md and code-patterns.md updates are not yet automated (too complex). Only recent-work.md is auto-updated currently.

Future expansion will include:

  • Testing patterns extraction
  • Code patterns analysis
  • ADR indexing

📊 What Gets Updated

Repository Overview:

  • Total commits
  • Contributors count
  • Current branch
  • Source/test file counts
  • Total test count

What this file has done since we first saw it

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.
