Documentation

README

Excerpt

Read Working Memory

Start every relevant session with context. Claude Code hooks prefer Context Bundle when available: owner identity, AI Identity, active scope, active rules, and Working Memory. Grok Build loads the same context through this skill because it discards passive hook stdout. Working Memory alone is the lighter fallback.

When to Use

At session start or the first relevant Grok Build turn:

Beginning of a new conversation
Returning to a project after a break
When context about recent work would help

During session:

User asks "what am I working on?" or "what's my context?"
User references recent priorities or decisions
Need to understand what's been happening across tools

Skip when:
