Context

context-handoff Plugin

Hierarchical parent-child session context handoff system for Claude Code.

Commands

• /context:receive - Receive context from parent or child session
• /context:send - Send context to parent or child session before switching

Usage

Sending Context

/context:send child [subject] [path]
/context:send parent [subject] [path]

Both subject and path are optional:

• subject: Claude will infer from conversation context if not provided
• path: Defaults to /tmp/claude-ctx/ if not provided

Receiving Context

/context:receive parent [subject] [path]
/context:receive child [subject] [path]

Both subject and path are optional:

• subject: Uses wildcard matching if not provided
• path: Defaults to /tmp/claude-ctx/ if not provided

File Naming Pattern

• Parent to child: /tmp/claude-ctx/ctx-parent-to-child-{subject}.md
• Child to parent: /tmp/claude-ctx/ctx-child-to-parent-{subject}.md

Without subject:

• Send: Claude infers subject from conversation
• Receive: Uses wildcard ctx-{direction}-*.md

Example Workflow

In parent session:

/context:send child database-migration
# Start child session

In child session:

/context:receive parent
# Do focused work
/context:send parent
# Exit child session

Back in parent session:

/context:receive child
# Continue with context from child

Context File Structure

Each context file includes:

• Current situation and handoff reason
• Decisions made
• Work completed
• Blockers and issues
• Next actions
• Files modified
