ContextKit 2.0 installs five small skills: /ck, /doc, and /learn, plus two add-ons, /goal and /headline. Each skill is a thin wrapper around a workflow file in .contextkit/commands/.

Overview

Skills are generated from one registry and rendered for each tool, so they behave the same everywhere. In Claude Code and Cursor you run them as /name. In Codex you run them as $name.

How it works

1. ck claude writes skills to .claude/skills/<name>/SKILL.md

2. ck codex writes .codex/skills/ and the portable .agents/skills/

3. ck cursor writes .cursor/prompts/<name>.md and .agents/skills/

4. Every skill reads its workflow from .contextkit/commands/

The Five Skills

SkillUsageWhat it does
/ck/ck, /ck setup, /ck update, /ck tidyStatus, first-time setup, finishing an upgrade, and keeping context lean
/doc/doc, /doc arch, /doc feature [name], /doc component <path>Update docs and standards affected by your change, or write a doc at a given level
/learn/learn "rule", /learnTurn a correction into one rule in the right standards file
/goaladd-on/goal "idea", /goal, /goal status, /goal doneRun a long task against a one-page goal file. See /goal →
/headlineadd-on/headline, /headline off, /headline pauseShort, result-first replies, always on. See /headline →

Upgrading from 1.x? The older skills were removed or folded into these five. The upgrade guide lists each one and its replacement.

/ck

Manages the project's AI context from inside your AI tool.

/ck

Status: what's set up and what needs attention.

/ck setup

First run. Analyzes the codebase and writes the standards, the always-loaded .contextkit/standards/index.md, and the context_rules in .contextkit/config.yml that decide which topic file loads for which paths.

/ck update

Finishes an upgrade after ck update. Works through .contextkit/pending-cleanup.md and asks before each change. For custom content in CLAUDE.md you choose: Move to AGENTS.md, Keep in CLAUDE.md, or Delete. For unfinished work from removed 1.x workflows you choose: convert to a goal, archive, or keep.

/ck tidy

Shrinks always-loaded context, prunes generic or linter-enforced rules, wires guides that nothing loads into context_rules, and promotes corrections that keep repeating into standards.

/doc

Keeps docs and standards in step with the code.

  • No argument: finds docs and standards that reference the code changed on this branch and updates the stale ones. On a feature branch it lists the updates first. For an npm package it also suggests a version bump and checks CHANGELOG.md.
  • /doc arch: architecture doc (Level 1)
  • /doc feature [name]: feature or page README (Level 2)
  • /doc component <path>: component README, colocated (Level 3)

/learn

Turns a correction into one rule so the mistake doesn't repeat. It checks for an existing rule first, writes to the right file in .contextkit/standards/ (topic file, index.md, glossary, or architecture), and logs it with ck note.

In Claude Code
/learn "we use the MUI wrapper, never raw MUI"/learn

Skills in .codex/skills/ and .agents/skills/

Setup

$contextkit codex

Usage

In Codex
$ck setup$goal

Global Skills & Plugin

The add-ons don't need ContextKit in the project, so you can share them on their own. Global install writes to ~/.claude/skills/:

ck install --global goal
ck install --global headline
ck update --global          # regenerate; also removes retired pre-2.0 global skills
ck uninstall --global <name> # remove one skill, including retired pre-2.0 ones

ContextKit is also a Claude Code plugin. It ships /ck, /doc, /learn, /goal, and /headline:

claude plugin marketplace add nolrm/contextkit
claude plugin install contextkit@contextkit-marketplace
