Receiving Context

接收上下文

Received At: !
date '+%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S'
Context Directory: !
[[ -d /tmp/claude-ctx ]] && echo "Exists" || echo "Does not exist - will create"
Note: If 
/tmp/claude-ctx/
does not exist, create it with:
bash
mkdir -p /tmp/claude-ctx
cat > /tmp/claude-ctx/README.md << 'EOF'
接收时间: !
date '+%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S'
上下文目录: !
[[ -d /tmp/claude-ctx ]] && echo "已存在" || echo "不存在 - 将创建"
注意: 如果
/tmp/claude-ctx/
不存在，请使用以下命令创建：
bash
mkdir -p /tmp/claude-ctx
cat > /tmp/claude-ctx/README.md << 'EOF'

Quick Example

快速示例

bash
/context:receive child api-implementation
bash
/context:receive child api-implementation

✓ Context received from child session

✓ 已从子级会话接收上下文

File: /tmp/claude-ctx/ctx-child-to-parent-api-implementation.md

文件: /tmp/claude-ctx/ctx-child-to-parent-api-implementation.md

receive - Receive context from parent, child, or sibling session

receive - 从父级、子级或同级会话接收上下文

Read and integrate context from session handoff file.
读取并整合会话交接文件中的上下文。

Usage

使用方法

/context:receive parent [subject] [path]
/context:receive child [subject] [path]
/context:receive sibling [subject] [path]
IMPORTANT: Direction is REQUIRED. Must be one of: 
parent
, 
child
, or 
sibling
.
Subject and path are optional:
  • subject: Claude will infer from context if not provided
  • path: Defaults to 
    /tmp/claude-ctx/
    if not provided
/context:receive parent [subject] [path]
/context:receive child [subject] [path]
/context:receive sibling [subject] [path]
重要提示：必须指定方向。方向只能是以下之一：
parent
、
child
或
sibling
。
主题（subject）和路径（path）为可选参数：
  • 主题：如果未提供，Claude将从上下文中推断
  • 路径：如果未提供，默认值为
    /tmp/claude-ctx/

What it does

功能说明

  1. Validates direction - Errors if direction is not parent|child|sibling
  2. Check "Context Directory" status above (from dynamic injection)
  3. Create directory only if status shows "Does not exist - will create"
  4. If creating directory, generates minimal README.md:
    markdown
    # Claude Context Handoff Directory

This is an **ephemeral directory** for Claude Code session context handoff. Created by claude slash commands. '/context:send' and '/context:receive'.
  5. Determines direction flow based on argument
  6. Records received timestamp (auto-captured)
  7. If subject provided, looks for 
    {path}/ctx-{direction}-{subject}.md
  8. If no subject, uses wildcard: 
    {path}/ctx-{direction}-*.md
    sorted by newest first
  9. Path defaults to 
    /tmp/claude-ctx/
    but can be customized
  10. Reads and displays context file with original timestamp from sender
  11. Integrates context into current session understanding
Important: When using wildcard (no subject), files are sorted by modification time with newest first, ensuring you get the most recent context.
File patterns:
  • /context:receive parent
    → looks for 
    /tmp/claude-ctx/ctx-parent-to-child-*.md
  • /context:receive child
    → looks for 
    /tmp/claude-ctx/ctx-child-to-parent-*.md
  • /context:receive sibling
    → looks for 
    /tmp/claude-ctx/ctx-sibling-to-sibling-*.md
  1. 验证方向 - 如果方向不是parent|child|sibling则报错
  2. 检查上方的“上下文目录”状态（来自动态注入）
  3. 仅当状态显示“不存在 - 将创建”时才创建目录
  4. 如果创建目录，会生成极简的README.md：
    markdown
    # Claude Context Handoff Directory

This is an **ephemeral directory** for Claude Code session context handoff. Created by claude slash commands. '/context:send' and '/context:receive'.
  5. 根据参数确定方向流向
  6. 记录接收时间戳（自动捕获）
  7. 如果提供了主题，查找
    {path}/ctx-{direction}-{subject}.md
    文件
  8. 如果未提供主题，使用通配符：
    {path}/ctx-{direction}-*.md
    按最新排序
  9. 路径默认为
    /tmp/claude-ctx/
    ，但可自定义
  10. 读取并显示上下文文件，同时显示发送方的原始时间戳
  11. 将上下文整合到当前会话的理解中
重要提示：使用通配符（未指定主题）时，文件会按修改时间从新到旧排序，确保你获取到最新的上下文。
文件模式：
  • /context:receive parent
    → 查找
    /tmp/claude-ctx/ctx-parent-to-child-*.md
  • /context:receive child
    → 查找
    /tmp/claude-ctx/ctx-child-to-parent-*.md
  • /context:receive sibling
    → 查找
    /tmp/claude-ctx/ctx-sibling-to-sibling-*.md

Example: Receiving from Parent (Wildcard)

示例：从父级接收上下文（通配符方式）

/context:receive parent

✓ Searching for context files: /tmp/claude-ctx/ctx-parent-to-child-*.md (newest first)
✓ Found: /tmp/claude-ctx/ctx-parent-to-child-database-migration.md (modified 2 minutes ago)

[Context displayed with parent session details]

Ready to begin focused work based on parent's context!
/context:receive parent

✓ 正在搜索上下文文件：/tmp/claude-ctx/ctx-parent-to-child-*.md（按最新排序）
✓ 找到：/tmp/claude-ctx/ctx-parent-to-child-database-migration.md（2分钟前修改）

[显示包含父级会话详情的上下文]

已准备好基于父级上下文开展聚焦工作！

Example: Receiving from Child with Subject

Example: Receiving from Sibling

示例：从同级接收上下文

/context:receive sibling parallel-task

  文件: /tmp/claude-ctx/ctx-sibling-to-sibling-parallel-task.md

[显示包含并行工作详情的上下文]

同级会话已完成。正在整合并行工作。

Example: Custom Path

示例：自定义路径

/context:receive parent database-work ~/Documents/context/

✓ Context received from parent session
  File: ~/Documents/context/ctx-parent-to-child-database-work.md

[Context displayed]
/context:receive parent database-work ~/Documents/context/

✓ 已从父级会话接收上下文
  文件: ~/Documents/context/ctx-parent-to-child-database-work.md

[显示上下文]

Example: Missing Direction (Error)

示例：未指定方向（错误）

/context:receive database-work

✗ Error: Must specify direction: parent, child, or sibling
  Usage: /context:receive <parent|child|sibling> [subject] [path]
/context:receive database-work

✗ 错误：必须指定方向：parent、child或sibling
  使用方法：/context:receive <parent|child|sibling> [subject] [path]
