/load

Purpose

Load specific project components into context for focused work. Uses the project index to efficiently load relevant files.

---

Load the requested component(s) into context.

Loading Process

Step 1: Check for Index

First, check if PROJECT_INDEX.md exists:

• If exists: Use index for efficient loading
• If not: Suggest running /index first, or do quick scan

Step 2: Identify Component

Parse the requested component:

Request Type	Action
Category name	Load all files in category
File path	Load specific file
Pattern	Load matching files
--all	Load key files from all categories

Step 3: Load Files

Read the identified files and summarize:

• File purposes
• Key exports/functions
• Dependencies
• Current state

Step 4: Context Summary

Provide a brief summary:

## Loaded Context

### Files Loaded (N)
- `path/to/file1.ts` - [purpose]
- `path/to/file2.ts` - [purpose]

### Key Components
- [Component]: [description]

### Ready For
- [Suggested actions based on loaded context]

Component Categories

Category	What It Loads
api	API routes and endpoints
models	Data models and types
services	Business logic services
utils	Utility functions
tests	Test files
config	Configuration files
auth	Authentication related
db	Database related

Flags

Flag	Description
--all	Load all key components
--shallow	Load only file summaries
--deep	Load full file contents
--related	Include related files

Usage Examples

/load api                    # Load all API routes
/load models                 # Load all data models
/load src/services/user.ts   # Load specific file
/load auth --related         # Load auth + related files
/load --all                  # Load all key components
/load --all --shallow        # Quick overview of everything

$ARGUMENTS

If no arguments, show available components from index.

Best Practices

1. Start Narrow: Load specific components first
2. Expand as Needed: Use --related when you need more context
3. Check Index: Run /index if loading seems slow
4. Use Categories: Category names are faster than patterns

After Loading

Suggest next actions:

• "Ready to work on [component]. What would you like to do?"
• "I see [patterns/issues]. Want me to address them?"
• "Related files that might be relevant: [list]"
