Can I use this for multi-line documentation?

No, Ctx Pad is specifically optimized for one-liner entries. For structured tasks or architectural documentation, use dedicated commands like 'ctx add task' or 'ctx add decision'.

How do I share my scratchpad with a teammate?

Since the scratchpad is encrypted, your teammate will need the specific key file from the project or your local configuration to decrypt and view the entries.

Can I import existing text files into the pad?

Yes, you can use 'ctx pad import [file]' to convert lines from a text file into individual scratchpad entries, or pipe output from other commands directly into the pad.

How does Ctx Pad handle encryption?

It uses a local key path (~/.ctx/.ctx.key) to encrypt entries, ensuring that the scratchpad.enc file remains unreadable ciphertext without the proper authorization key.

What is the difference between 'add' and 'edit --append'?

'Add' creates a brand new entry at the end of the scratchpad, while 'edit --append' attaches new text to an existing numbered entry.

生产力与工作流

Manages an encrypted, project-specific scratchpad for storing sensitive notes and reminders using natural language commands.

ctx-pad is a specialized Claude Code skill that provides a secure, encrypted scratchpad for project-specific notes and sensitive one-liners. It allows developers to jot down quick reminders, DNS configurations, or credentials that travel with the repository while remaining hidden from direct view. By translating natural language into 'ctx pad' commands, it simplifies the process of adding, editing, reordering, and searching through context-specific notes, ensuring that critical information is persisted and rehydrated across coding sessions without compromising security.

主要功能

01Translates natural language prompts into precise scratchpad management commands.

02Persists project-specific context across different AI coding sessions.
