Technical reference for ctx commands, skills, and internals.

The System Explains Itself¶

CLI¶

Every command, subcommand, and flag. Now a top-level section: see CLI Reference.

Skills¶

The full skill catalog: what each skill does, when it triggers, and how skills interact with commands.

Tool Ecosystem¶

How ctx compares to Cursor Rules, Aider conventions, CLAUDE.md, and other context approaches.

Session Journal¶

Export, browse, and enrich your session history. Covers the journal site, Obsidian export, and the enrichment pipeline.

Scratchpad¶

Encrypted, git-tracked scratch space for short notes and sensitive values that travel with the project.

Version History¶

Changelog for every ctx release.
