Load Context - Memory Fabric Initialization

Auto-load relevant memories at session start from both Mem0 semantic memory and the knowledge graph for seamless session continuity.

CC 2.1.6 Context-Aware: Loading adapts based on context_window.used_percentage.

When to Use

• Automatically: Invoked at session start via auto-invoke: session-start
• Manually: Run /load-context to reload memories mid-session
• After MCP reconnect: Refresh context if MCP servers were restarted

Context-Aware Loading Tiers

Memory Fabric adjusts how much context to load based on current context pressure:

Context Usage	Decisions	Blockers	Entities	Behavior
0-40% (Green)	5	3	5	Full context load
40-70% (Yellow)	3	1	3	Reduced context
70-90% (Orange)	1	critical only	0	Minimal context
>90% (Red)	0	0	0	Skip, show hint only

Workflow

1. Check Context Pressure

If context_window.used_percentage > 90%:
  → Output: "[Memory Fabric] Skipping - context at {X}%"
  → Exit early

If > 70%: Use minimal tier (1 decision, critical blockers only)
If > 40%: Use reduced tier (3 decisions, 1 blocker, 3 entities)

2. Query Recent Sessions (Mem0)

Call mcp__mem0__search_memories:

{
  "query": "session context blockers next steps",
  "filters": {
    "AND": [
      { "user_id": "{project}-continuity" },
      { "created_at": { "gte": "7 days ago" } }
    ]
  },
  "limit": 3,
  "enable_graph": true
}

3. Query Recent Decisions (Mem0)

Call mcp__mem0__get_memories:

{
  "filters": {
    "AND": [{ "user_id": "{project}-decisions" }]
  },
  "page_size": 5
}

4. Query Graph Entities

Call mcp__memory__search_nodes:

{
  "query": "recent decisions patterns"
}

5. Format Output

[Memory Fabric Loaded]
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Recent Decisions ({count}):
  - [{time ago}] {decision_text}

Unresolved Blockers ({count}):
  - {blocker_text} (session {date})

Active Entities ({count}):
  - {entity} -> {relation} -> {entity}

Next Steps from Last Session:
  - {step_1}

Error Handling

MCP Unavailable

Show configuration hints and continue without that source:

[Memory Fabric]
Mem0 MCP server unavailable. Run /configure to enable.
Continuing without semantic memory...

No Memories Found

[Memory Fabric Loaded]
No memories found for this project.
This is normal for new projects. Use /remember to start building memory.
