DumpContext Types

Context Types

Context types help inform AI assistants how to treat the content on your board. You can set this in your board's settings popover.

Default

Recommended

The standard mode — your board is a collection of context. Links, notes, and checklists are presented as-is to the AI with no special instructions.

This works for most use cases: research boards, project notes, link collections, meeting prep, and anything where you just want the AI to have access to the information.

Skill

Marks this board as an extensible capability for the AI. The generated markdown includes a preamble telling the assistant to use this board as a skill — a reusable set of knowledge or instructions it can draw on at any time.

Great for reference material the AI should check frequently: coding standards, API documentation, brand guidelines, product specs, or any knowledge base that augments what the AI can do.

Agent

Tells the AI to adopt this board as its persona. The goals, personality, tone, and instructions on the board should take over the AI's current context — effectively turning it into a custom agent.

Use this for boards that define a specific role: a customer support agent, a writing assistant with a particular voice, a code reviewer with your team's conventions, or any persona you want the AI to embody.

Tip: Combine a context type with a custom system prompt for even more control. The system prompt appears right after the context type preamble in the generated markdown.
