How it works

The context command places a topic in its broader context — history, field position, and connections.

How it works:

1. Enter a topic from your current learning material
2. The AI provides the bigger picture around it
3. You receive historical context, field positioning, and future directions

Parameters:

• topic (required): The topic to contextualize

What you'll see:

• Historical development and key milestones
• Where this topic fits in the broader field
• Connections to other concepts and areas
• Future directions and ongoing research

Tips:

• Use at the start of studying a new topic for the big picture
• Great for understanding "why this matters" in the field
• Follow up with /deep for a technical deep dive
