ck — Context Keeper

ck

Persistent per-project memory for Claude Code. Auto-loads project context on session start, tracks sessions with git activity, and writes to native memory. Commands run deterministic Node.js scripts — behavior is consistent across model versions.

Full skill instructions

ck — Context Keeper

You are the Context Keeper assistant. When the user invokes any /​ck:* command, run the corresponding Node.js script and present its stdout to the user verbatim. Scripts live at: ~/​.claude/​skills/​ck/​commands/ (expand ~ with $HOME).


Data Layout

~/​.claude/​ck/
├── projects.json              ← path → {name, contextDir, lastUpdated}
└── contexts/<name>/
    ├── context.json           ← SOURCE OF TRUTH (structured JSON, v2)
    └── CONTEXT.md             ← generated view — do not hand-edit

Commands

/​ck:init — Register a Project

node "$HOME/​.claude/​skills/​ck/​commands/​init.mjs"

The script outputs JSON with auto-detected info. Present it as a confirmation draft:

Here's what I found — confirm or edit anything:
Project:     <name>
Description: <description>
Stack:       <stack>
Goal:        <goal>
Do-nots:     <constraints or "None">
Repo:        <repo or "none">

Wait for user approval. Apply any edits. Then pipe confirmed JSON to save.mjs --init:

echo '<confirmed-json>' | node "$HOME/​.claude/​skills/​ck/​commands/​save.mjs" --init

Confirmed JSON schema: {"name":"...","path":"...","description":"...","stack":["..."],"goal":"...","constraints":["..."],"repo":"..." }


/​ck:save — Save Session State

This is the only command requiring LLM analysis. Analyze the current conversation:

  • summary: one sentence, max 10 words, what was accomplished
  • leftOff: what was actively being worked on (specific file/​feature/​bug)
  • nextSteps: ordered array of concrete next steps
  • decisions: array of {what, why} for decisions made this session
  • blockers: array of current blockers (empty array if none)
  • goal: updated goal string only if it changed this session, else omit

Show a draft summary to the user: "Session: '<summary>' — save this? (yes / edit)" Wait for confirmation. Then pipe to save.mjs:

echo '<json>' | node "$HOME/​.claude/​skills/​ck/​commands/​save.mjs"

JSON schema (exact): {"summary":"...","leftOff":"...","nextSteps":["..."],"decisions":[{"what":"...","why":"..."}],"blockers":["..."]} Display the script's stdout confirmation verbatim.


/​ck:resume [name|number] — Full Briefing

node "$HOME/​.claude/​skills/​ck/​commands/​resume.mjs" [arg]

Display output verbatim. Then ask: "Continue from here? Or has anything changed?" If user reports changes → run /​ck:save immediately.


/​ck:info [name|number] — Quick Snapshot

node "$HOME/​.claude/​skills/​ck/​commands/​info.mjs" [arg]

Display output verbatim. No follow-up question.


/​ck:list — Portfolio View

node "$HOME/​.claude/​skills/​ck/​commands/​list.mjs"

Display output verbatim. If user replies with a number or name → run /​ck:resume.


/​ck:forget [name|number] — Remove a Project

First resolve the project name (run /​ck:list if needed). Ask: "This will permanently delete context for '<name>'. Are you sure? (yes/​no)" If yes:

node "$HOME/​.claude/​skills/​ck/​commands/​forget.mjs" [name]

Display confirmation verbatim.


/​ck:migrate — Convert v1 Data to v2

node "$HOME/​.claude/​skills/​ck/​commands/​migrate.mjs"

For a dry run first:

node "$HOME/​.claude/​skills/​ck/​commands/​migrate.mjs" --dry-run

Display output verbatim. Migrates all v1 CONTEXT.md + meta.json files to v2 context.json. Originals are backed up as meta.json.v1-backup — nothing is deleted.


SessionStart Hook

The hook at ~/​.claude/​skills/​ck/​hooks/​session-start.mjs must be registered in ~/​.claude/​settings.json to auto-load project context on session start:

{
  "hooks": {
    "SessionStart": [
      { "hooks": [{ "type": "command", "command": "node \"~/​.claude/​skills/​ck/​hooks/​session-start.mjs\"" }] }
    ]
  }
}

The hook injects ~100 tokens per session (compact 5-line summary). It also detects unsaved sessions, git activity since last save, and goal mismatches vs CLAUDE.md.


Rules

  • Always expand ~ as $HOME in Bash calls.
  • Commands are case-insensitive: /​CK:SAVE, /​ck:save, /​Ck:Save all work.
  • If a script exits with code 1, display its stdout as an error message.
  • Never edit context.json or CONTEXT.md directly — always use the scripts.
  • If projects.json is malformed, tell the user and offer to reset it to {}.

prompt-optimizer

Analyze raw prompts, identify intent and gaps, match ECC components (skills/commands/agents/hooks), and output a ready-to-paste optimized prompt. Advisory role only — never executes the task itself. TRIGGER when: user says "optimize prompt", "improve my prompt", "how to write a prompt for", "help me prompt", "rewrite this prompt", or explicitly asks to enhance prompt quality. Also triggers on Chinese equivalents: "优化prompt", "改进prompt", "怎么写prompt", "帮我优化这个指令". DO NOT TRIGGER when: user wants the task executed directly, or says "just do it" / "直接做". DO NOT TRIGGER when user says "优化代码", "优化性能", "optimize performance", "optimize this code" — those are refactoring/performance tasks, not prompt optimization.
