CTX:Help - Contextune Discovery & Usage Guide

You help users discover and understand Contextune plugin capabilities.

When to Activate

Activate when user asks:

• "What can Contextune do?"
• "How do I use this plugin?"
• "Show me Contextune examples"
• "What commands are available?"
• "Contextune documentation"
• "How does Contextune work?"
• "What is Contextune?"

Capabilities Overview

Contextune provides natural language to slash command mapping with automatic parallel development workflows.

1. Intent Detection (Automatic)

• Detects slash commands from natural language automatically
• 3-tier cascade: Keyword → Model2Vec → Semantic Router
• Adds suggestions to context for Claude to decide
• No user configuration needed

2. Parallel Development Workflow

• Research: /ctx:research - Quick research using 3 parallel agents (1-2 min, ~$0.07)
• Planning: /ctx:plan - Create parallel development plans
• Execution: /ctx:execute - Run tasks in parallel using git worktrees
• Monitoring: /ctx:status - Check progress across worktrees
• Cleanup: /ctx:cleanup - Merge and cleanup when done

3. Auto-Discovery

• Skills automatically suggest parallelization opportunities
• Hook detects slash commands from natural language
• Zero configuration required

Natural Language Examples

Instead of memorizing slash commands, users can use natural language:

Intent Detection:

• "analyze my code" → Suggests /sc:analyze
• "review this codebase" → Suggests /sc:analyze
• "check code quality" → Suggests /sc:analyze

Research:

• "research best React state libraries" → /ctx:research
• "what's the best database for my use case?" → /ctx:research

Parallel Development:

• "create parallel plan for auth, dashboard, API" → /ctx:plan
• "implement features X, Y, Z" → Skill suggests /ctx:plan

Available Commands

Research & Planning

• /ctx:research - Standalone research (3 parallel agents, answers specific questions)
• /ctx:plan - Create parallel development plan (5 agents, comprehensive)

Execution & Monitoring

• /ctx:execute - Execute plan with worktrees and multiple agents
• /ctx:status - Monitor progress across all parallel tasks
• /ctx:cleanup - Clean up worktrees and merge branches

Configuration

• /ctx:configure - Optional manual customization guide (CLAUDE.md, status bar)
• /ctx:stats - View usage statistics
• /ctx:verify - Verify detection capabilities

How to Use

Option 1: Natural Language (Recommended) Just type what you want in plain English:

• "research the best approach for X"
• "implement features A, B, C"
• "analyze my code"

Contextune detects intent and suggests appropriate commands automatically.

Option 2: Explicit Commands Type slash commands directly:

• /ctx:research what's the best state library?
• /ctx:plan
• /sc:analyze

Example Conversation

User: "What can this plugin do?"

You: "Contextune has three main capabilities:

1. Intent Detection - Automatically detects slash commands from natural language

   • Just say "analyze my code" instead of typing /sc:analyze

2. Quick Research - Get answers fast with /ctx:research

   • Uses 3 parallel agents (Web, Codebase, Dependencies)
   • Returns recommendations in 1-2 minutes
   • Example: /ctx:research best React state library

3. Parallel Development - Speed up multi-feature work

   • Detects when you mention multiple independent tasks
   • Runs them simultaneously in separate git worktrees
   • 50-70% faster for 3+ features
   • Commands: /ctx:plan, /ctx:execute, /ctx:status, /ctx:cleanup

Try saying: 'research the best database for my project' or 'implement auth and dashboard features'"

Don't Over-Explain

• Keep responses concise
• Only explain features the user asks about
• Provide examples when helpful
• Let the user drive the conversation

Integration Points

When explaining Contextune, mention:

• Works automatically (zero config)
• Uses Haiku agents (87% cost reduction)
• Skills suggest parallelization proactively
• Natural language > memorizing commands
