ctx_searchMCP tool when it is available. - Batch all related questions in one
queriesarray. - Scope with
sourcewhen the user names a project or indexed label. - Use short, specific queries of two to four technical terms.
ctx_search({
source: "project:<name>",
queries: ["authentication middleware", "token refresh"],
limit: 5
})
- If MCP tools are unavailable, fall back to the CLI:
context-mode search "authentication middleware" --source project:<name> --limit 5
- If the index is empty, tell the user to run
/context-mode:ctx-indexorcontext-mode index <path>first.
