# Manage AI Project Memory with OpenContext

AI agents lose project context between sessions, causing repeated explanations and stale assumptions. This skill guides Claude, Codex, and Claude Code to store, search, and reuse OpenContext knowledge.

## Install

```bash
npx skillstore add supercent-io/opencontext
```

## Capabilities

- Explains how to install and initialize the OpenContext CLI in a project.
- Documents slash commands for loading, searching, creating, and updating context.
- Shows folder, document, search, manifest, index, and link workflows.
- Lists OpenContext MCP tools for folders, documents, search, manifests, and stable links.
- Provides daily workflows for recording decisions, pitfalls, and next steps.
- Describes desktop and web UI workflows for citations and context management.

## Use Cases

- Resume Project Work: Load prior architecture notes, decisions, and pitfalls before changing code.
- Share Agent Research: Store analysis findings so other agents can reuse the same project knowledge.
- Maintain Project Memory: Record acceptance criteria, API contracts, and dependency decisions after each work session.

## Prompt Templates

### Load Project Context

```
Use OpenContext to load the most relevant background for this repository. Summarize decisions, pitfalls, and next steps before coding.
```

### Search Prior Decisions

```
Search OpenContext for previous decisions about this feature. Return the most relevant notes, citations, and unresolved questions.
```

### Store Session Conclusions

```
Create or update an OpenContext document with session decisions, files changed, tests run, risks, and recommended follow-up work.
```

### Coordinate Multi-Agent Research

```
Use OpenContext as the shared memory layer. Load existing context, assign research topics, merge findings, and store final conclusions with citations.
```

## Limitations

- Requires the OpenContext CLI, desktop app, or MCP integration to be installed separately.
- Semantic search requires an embeddings API key and a built index.
- Stored context quality depends on user curation and regular updates.
- Does not verify third-party commands, package integrity, or secret handling automatically.

## Best Practices

- Load OpenContext before starting work that depends on prior decisions.
- Store concise conclusions with citations, dates, and clear next steps.
- Review context before reuse and remove outdated or sensitive information.

## Anti Patterns

- Do not store credentials, tokens, private keys, or regulated personal data.
- Do not run initialization commands without reviewing the files they may modify.
- Do not rely on stale context when source files or requirements have changed.

## Security Audit

- Audited at: 2026-07-09T11:51:06.437\+00:00
- Summary: Most static findings are false positives from Markdown backticks, reference links, and documented local paths. The real risks are persistent storage of project context, user-level agent configuration changes, and third-party CLI execution. No evidence found of prompt injection, credential exfiltration, or covert network calls.
