Context Packer

Build compact, high-signal context briefs from files, symbols, and commits — give your AI assistant exactly the context it needs, nothing more.

Features

• Smart File Selection — Identifies the most relevant files for a given task using dependency analysis
• Symbol Extraction — Pulls key functions, types, and interfaces without full file contents
• Commit Context — Summarizes recent changes relevant to the current task
• Token Budget Management — Packs maximum context within your model's token limits
• Context Templates — Pre-built templates for common tasks: bug fixing, feature development, refactoring

Quick Start

claude skill install context-packer

Usage

# Build context for a bug in the auth module
/context-packer --scope src/auth --task "fix login timeout"

# Pack context from recent commits
/context-packer --commits 10 --focus "payment processing"

How It Works

Traverses your project's import graph and Git history to identify files most relevant to your task. Extracts key symbols (function signatures, type definitions, exports) rather than full files to maximize information density. Produces a structured context brief optimized for LLM consumption.

Compatibility

Works with Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, Cursor, Windsurf, and Aider.
