Give agents the codebase knowledge they need.
This repository is the public home of JetBrains Context — not its source code. The jbcontext CLI is developed in a private JetBrains repository and distributed as a prebuilt binary. What you'll find here:
- Agent integrations — skills, subagents, hooks, MCP configuration, and
AGENTS.mdinstructions that wirejbcontextinto coding agents. These are fully open. - Releases and release notes — every
jbcontextrelease is published under Releases. Treat that page as the CLI changelog; the tags there track CLI versions, not the contents of this repo.
The CLI is a separate download — see jetbrains.com/context for installation instructions. Binaries come from download.jetbrains.com, and jbcontext upgrade updates in place.
| Skill | Description |
|---|---|
context-search |
/context-search — run a semantic code search |
context-research |
/context-research — deep codebase exploration using jbcontext search and jbcontext history |
context-install |
/context-install — install the jbcontext CLI |
org-search |
/org-search — experimental org-wide semantic search |
dependency-search |
/dependency-search — org-wide dependency usage and upgrade research |
blast-radius |
/blast-radius — org-wide impact and consumer analysis |
Read-only exploration subagents that run several jbcontext search queries in their own context and return file:line references with code snippets — useful for more extensive exploration without cluttering the main thread.
| Agent | Description |
|---|---|
context-explorer (Claude) |
agents/claude/context-explorer.md — Claude subagent, invoked via Task(subagent_type='context-explorer', ...). |
context_explorer (Codex) |
agents/codex/context-explorer.toml — Codex custom agent (install under ~/.codex/agents/ or .codex/agents/). Codex spawns subagents only when asked, so request it directly, e.g. "use context_explorer to map the auth flow". |
