/wbContext — Command Hub
/wbContext reads actual source code — package.json, entry points, configs — to produce accurate, code-aware context.md files that describe a folder's identity, dependencies, and rules. It is the foundational command for establishing agent awareness: before any planning or execution, the agent needs to understand what the folder is, what it depends on, and what conventions it follows.
🎯 Strategic Position
Every agent session starts from zero context. Without /wbContext, the agent guesses — and guesses wrong about framework versions, package boundaries, and local conventions. With it, the first minute of every session loads a verified, code-derived understanding of the package.
- Start of a fresh AI session — load the current package's identity.
- After pulling changes — surface drift between stored understanding and current code.
- Before touching a complex subsystem — generate a focused sidecar.
- Monthly sanity check — monorepo-wide survey to catch stale context.
- After rewriting a lot of a package — re-run, don't
/wbSetup.
🛠️ Operating Modes
| Mode | Trigger | Output |
|---|---|---|
| Standard | /wbContext <path> | Per-package context report (identity, dependencies, constraints) |
| Focused | /wbContext <path> --focus="<subsystem>" | Standard context + focused sidecar on one subsystem |
| Global survey | /wbContext <monorepo-root>/ --scope=global | Monorepo-wide context survey |
✅ What a useful context report contains
- Baseline load — age of stored
context.md/dev.md. Flagged if >30 days on an active package. - Drift report — what changed between stored understanding and current code.
- Questions — if drift requires a decision (e.g., "did you rename this on purpose?"), the AI asks before updating.
- Recent report ingestion — audits and debug reports surfaced into working memory.
🚫 What it cannot do
| Not this | Use instead |
|---|---|
| Create context for a brand-new package | /wbSetup |
| Plan or execute work | /wbPlan |
| Modify source code | Read-only — it only reads and documents |
| Show what others have been doing | /wbStandup |
| Verify release-readiness | /wbAudit |
