Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Context Mode Search Search indexed content without rereading raw sources into conversation context. ## Instructions 1. Prefer the `ctx_search` MCP tool when it is available. 2. Batch all related questions in one `queries` array. 3. Scope with `source` when the user names a project or indexed label. 4. Use short, specific queries of two to four technical terms. ```javascript ctx_search({ source: "project:<name>", queries: ["authentication middleware", "token refresh"], limit: 5 }) ``` 5. If MCP tools are unavailable, fall back to the CLI: ```bash context-mode search "authentication middleware" --source project:<name> --limit 5 ``` 6. If the index is empty, tell the user to run `/context-mode:ctx-index` or `context-mode index <path>` first.

What does the ctx-search skill do?
Search context-mode's persistent FTS5 knowledge base for previously indexed local project content, documentation, or session memory.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add mksglu/context-mode --skill ctx-search --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From mksglu/context-mode, a repository with 19,611 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
