Can I specify which specific context file to load?

Yes, you can provide an optional 'subject' argument to target a specific file, or omit it to let the skill automatically find the most recently modified context.

What is the primary purpose of the receive skill?

It allows a Claude Code session to import progress, metadata, and state from another session, ensuring continuity and preventing context loss across different tasks.

What directions are supported for receiving context?

The skill supports 'parent', 'child', and 'sibling' directions to correctly identify the source of the context and map the information flow appropriately.

Do I need to manually create the context directory?

No, the skill automatically checks for the /tmp/claude-ctx/ directory and creates it with a README and proper structure if it doesn't already exist.

Is the context storage permanent?

By default, it uses /tmp/claude-ctx/, which is ephemeral. However, you can provide a custom path argument if you need to store and receive context from a persistent location.

Productivity & Workflow

Integrates development context and session state from parent, child, or sibling Claude Code sessions to maintain workflow continuity.

The Session Context Receiver is a specialized tool designed to facilitate seamless transitions between different Claude Code environments. By reading standardized handoff files, it allows a new or existing session to instantly absorb the decisions, blockers, and progress made in a related session. Whether you are returning to a parent session after a child task is complete or syncing parallel workflows between siblings, this skill automates the discovery and integration of critical project metadata, ensuring no information is lost during session handoffs.
