Context Mode Purge

Permanently deletes ALL session data for this project: knowledge base, session events, analytics, and stats.

Instructions

  1. Warn the user: This is irreversible. Everything will be deleted:
    • FTS5 knowledge base (all indexed content from
      ctx_index
      ,
      ctx_fetch_and_index
      ,
      ctx_batch_execute
      )
    • Session events DB (analytics, metadata, resume snapshots)
    • Session events markdown file
    • In-memory session stats
  2. Call the
    mcp__context-mode__ctx_purge
    MCP tool with
    confirm: true
    .
  3. Report the result to the user — the response lists exactly what was deleted.

When to Use

  • When the KB contains stale or incorrect content polluting search results.
  • When switching between unrelated projects in the same session.
  • When you want a completely fresh start for this project.

Important

  • ctx_purge
    is the only way to delete session data. No other mechanism exists.
  • ctx_stats
    is read-only — shows statistics only.
  • /clear
    and
    /compact
    do NOT affect any context-mode data.
  • There is no undo. Re-index content if you need it again.
