Context Bridge — independently scanned and version-tracked by SaferSkills.
SaferSkills independently audited Context Bridge (Agent Skill) and scored it 91/100 (green). The audit ran 55 deterministic rules across Security, Supply Chain, Maintenance, Transparency, and Community; it found 1 high-severity and 0 lower-severity findings. The full rule-by-rule trace and per-finding evidence are below. Free, methodology-open.

A fenced bash/python block in SKILL.md carries a natural-language imperative — "now run this", "execute the following command" — directing the agent to execute the fenced content. What looks like documentation becomes an executable payload the agent may run without ever asking you.

The primary manifest — the file an agent reads to learn what this artifact does.
This file is the practical "how do I actually run this" companion. See PLAN.md for the original design rationale and vague roadmap.
bash scripts/wizard.shThe wizard creates a .venv, installs dependencies, registers the MCP server with Claude Code (global by default, so it's available in every session), and writes a .env file for local config.
Configuration — .env (created by the wizard, gitignored) supports:
| Variable | Default | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
CONTEXT_BRIDGE_DB_PATH | ./chat_memory.db | Where the database lives |
CONTEXT_BRIDGE_MODEL | BAAI/bge-base-en-v1.5 | fastembed model ID; changing after a build triggers a full rebuild |
CONTEXT_BRIDGE_BATCH_SIZE | 64 | Embedding batch size; reduce to 16 or 8 if you hit OOM during build |
Edit .env directly to change these after initial setup. See .env.example for the template.
Changing the embedding model: set CONTEXT_BRIDGE_MODEL to a different fastembed-compatible model ID, then run a full rebuild with your complete Claude.ai export — build_db.py detects the model mismatch and skips the partial-export merge to avoid mixing incompatible vectors. Partial exports are safe again after the first full rebuild with the new model.
There is no API for this — the export is pull-only, triggered manually:

Claude Code session, via "context-bridge" MCPbuild_db.py always parses the entire data/inspect/ export and re-embeds everything, but before the atomic replace it merges back any claude_ai chunks from the previous DB whose conversation/project UUID is absent from the new export. This means a partial export (e.g. 90-day-only) is safe — older history that isn't in the new export is preserved from the old DB.
One exception: if the embedding model changes between builds, the merge is skipped (mixing vectors from two models would corrupt search). In that case run build_db.py with a full export to get a clean rebuild.
Each shell script accepts --help for full usage and options. Quick reference:
| Script | Purpose |
|---|---|
./scripts/wizard.sh | One-time setup: venv, dependencies, MCP registration |
./scripts/build_all.sh | Rebuild DB from a Claude.ai export (run after each new export) |
./scripts/run_server.sh | Start the MCP server manually (smoke check outside Claude Code) |

pytest # unit tests (ingest, query, build_db, code sessions)
bash tests/check_docs.sh # structural lint (versions, file paths)
python3 ingest_code_sessions.py # incremental Claude Code session ingest
python3 ingest.py # parse-only, no embedding (dry-run check)
python3 query.py "your query" # ad-hoc CLI search (--top-k N, --db PATH)The server registers two tools with Claude at session start: search_chat_history and get_conversation. Their schemas cost ~100–200 tokens each for the lifetime of the session, whether or not they're ever called.
What triggers a search: the tool description drives autonomous behavior. The current description is reactive — Claude calls search_chat_history when it notices it's about to re-derive something it suspects has been covered before. In a narrow coding task it may never fire; in a design or planning conversation it may fire more.
The most reliable pattern: ask explicitly.
"Search the context bridge for [topic]."
This produces a direct, well-formed tool call rather than leaving query construction to Claude's autonomous judgment. Semantic search rewards descriptive phrases over single keywords — "what did we decide about chunking strategy" retrieves better than "chunking".
Current retrieval limitation: search_chat_history has no locality signal. A query from a sol_reason session ranks sol_reason sessions no higher than sessions from synesthesia, djmgmt, or any other project. This is the Phase 3 gap (current_project parameter — see PLAN.md). Until Phase 3 is implemented, cross-project noise is a known retrieval quality ceiling.
The model download hangs or fails. fastembed downloads ~130 MB on first run. If it times out, check your network and retry. The cache lives at ~/.cache/fastembed/.
`build_all.sh` says "OOM" or crashes during embedding. Reduce CONTEXT_BRIDGE_BATCH_SIZE in .env (try 16 or 8) and re-run.
The MCP server isn't appearing in Claude Code. Run claude mcp list to verify registration, then restart Claude Code — the server list is read at session start. If it's missing, re-run ./scripts/wizard.sh.
`search_chat_history` returns nothing (or only irrelevant results). Run ./scripts/build_all.sh first — the server needs a built chat_memory.db. If the DB exists, try a more descriptive phrase ("what did we decide about X") rather than a single keyword.
Claude Code sessions aren't appearing in search. Run python3 ingest_code_sessions.py to ingest the latest sessions, then restart the MCP server. This step is separate from the Claude.ai export build.
I changed the embedding model and now search is broken. See "Changing the embedding model" under Configuration above.
