# Contexity ## Docs - [External Context: Capture Slack, Issues, and Docs Links](https://cxity.kairaxis.com/concepts/external-context.md): Contexity captures Slack threads, issue comments, docs, and decisions as structured references with extracted signals, not raw text injected into prompts. - [How Contexity Works: Agent Context Architecture Guide](https://cxity.kairaxis.com/concepts/how-it-works.md): Contexity sits between your AI agent and your project. Agents retrieve bounded, task-aware context packs instead of raw memory dumps. - [Metrics and Proof: Understand Contexity Value Estimates](https://cxity.kairaxis.com/concepts/metrics-and-proof.md): Contexity shows heuristic token-saved and time-saved estimates after relevant work. Learn what the numbers mean and when A/B benchmarks are required. - [Trust and Freshness: How Contexity Validates Context](https://cxity.kairaxis.com/concepts/trust-and-freshness.md): Contexity tracks two axes per context item: trust and freshness. Stale and invalidated context is suppressed automatically from agent packs. - [Capture External Updates as Structured Signal References](https://cxity.kairaxis.com/guides/capture-external-updates.md): Preserve Slack updates, issue comments, and docs links as structured references with extracted signals — not injected into prompts. - [Day 0 Project Flow: First-Time Contexity Onboarding](https://cxity.kairaxis.com/guides/day-0-project-flow.md): Attach Contexity to a project for the first time. Day 0 seeds candidate context from README, commits, and structure — without auto-trusting anything. - [Import and Export Contexity Context Capsules Safely](https://cxity.kairaxis.com/guides/import-export-context.md): Export focused context capsules from one Contexity project and import them into another checkout, branch, or machine with trust preserved. - [Manage Contexity Metrics: Enable, Disable, and Status](https://cxity.kairaxis.com/guides/manage-metrics.md): Enable or disable visible heuristic metrics summaries in Contexity. Structured metric data stays available even when the display footer is turned off. - [Connect Contexity to Claude Code Using an MCP Server](https://cxity.kairaxis.com/guides/use-with-claude-code.md): Connect Contexity to Claude Code through MCP. Claude Code starts runs, retrieves context packs, and captures external sources automatically during tasks. - [Use Contexity with Codex via MCP Server Integration](https://cxity.kairaxis.com/guides/use-with-codex.md): Connect Contexity to Codex through MCP so Codex retrieves bounded context, maps impact, and captures external sources automatically during every task. - [Install Contexity: Build from Source and Configure State](https://cxity.kairaxis.com/install.md): Build Contexity from source with Cargo, configure the local state home, and learn how to upgrade safely while preserving project context. - [What Is Contexity? Local-First AI Agent Context Continuity](https://cxity.kairaxis.com/introduction.md): Contexity is a local-first context layer for AI coding agents. Structured memory, freshness control, and bounded retrieval — no cloud required. - [Contexity Quickstart: Attach a Project and Connect an Agent](https://cxity.kairaxis.com/quickstart.md): Attach Contexity to a project, connect an agent host, and let AI agents call context tools automatically. Takes less than 5 minutes to set up. - [Contexity CLI Command Reference](https://cxity.kairaxis.com/reference/cli-commands.md): Complete reference for all Contexity CLI commands: project setup, context retrieval, project intelligence, host config, import/export, health, and metrics. - [Contexity MCP Tools Reference](https://cxity.kairaxis.com/reference/mcp-tools.md): Complete reference for all Contexity MCP tools: run lifecycle, context retrieval, project intelligence, external capture, global preferences, and metrics. - [State and Files: Where Contexity Stores Data](https://cxity.kairaxis.com/reference/state-and-files.md): Contexity separates project identity in .cxcap/ from the local state home. Learn what to commit, what to back up, and how state home resolution works. - [Troubleshoot Common Contexity Setup and Runtime Issues](https://cxity.kairaxis.com/troubleshooting/common-issues.md): Diagnose and fix the most common Contexity problems: agents not calling tools, stale context, project initialization errors, and noisy metrics. - [Contexity FAQ: Context, Trust, Cloud, and Portability](https://cxity.kairaxis.com/troubleshooting/faq.md): Answers to the most common questions about Contexity: what it is, how trust works, whether cloud is needed, and how to share context across machines.
