Usage Examples

Search Your Contexts

"Search for contexts about machine learning"

Claude will use the search_contexts tool to find relevant contexts in your Convolut library.

Create New Context

"Save this conversation as a new context titled 'API Integration Discussion'"

Claude will use create_context to save the conversation to your Convolut account.

Generate Plans

"Analyze these project contexts and create an actionable plan"

Claude will use consolidate_contexts and plan_from_contexts to analyze multiple contexts and generate structured plans.
