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.
Overview
- Automatically: Invoked at session start via
auto-invoke: session-start - Manually: Run
/load-contextto 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

Recent Decisions ({count}):
- [{time ago}] {decision_text}
Unresolved Blockers ({count}):
- {blocker_text} (session {date})
Active Entities ({count}):
- {entity} -> {relation} -> {entity}

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.Related Skills
