Real-World Use Cases
See how ContextDigger solves everyday challenges
ContextDigger isn't just another tool—it's a complete workflow transformation. See how teams use it to navigate large codebases, onboard new developers, and refactor with confidence.
Daily Development Workflow
Navigate like a pro, never lose your place
Morning: Start Fresh
/dig-dashboard See what you worked on yesterday
/dig-history Review your navigation trail
/dig backend-api Jump right back to your work area
During Work: Stay Focused
/mark-spot critical-bug Bookmark the bug location
/dig-deps Check what depends on this code
/goto-spot critical-bug Return after checking dependencies
Context Switching: No Problem
/dig-snapshot feature-work Save your current context
/dig urgent-fix Switch to urgent work
/dig-load feature-work Resume exactly where you left off
End of Day: Document
/dig-note "Fixed auth bug" Add context for teammates
/dig-stats Review what you accomplished
/dig-report daily Generate daily activity report
Result
No more "where was I?" moments. Your entire day's context is preserved, navigable, and shareable.
New Developer Onboarding
From zero to productive in days, not months
Week 1: Explore
/init-dig Discover all code areas automatically
/dig-dashboard See project overview
/dig-team See what teammates are working on
/dig-wiki Read team knowledge base
Week 2: Learn
/dig backend-api Focus on first assignment area
/dig-deps Understand dependencies
/dig-hotspots Find frequently changed files
/mark-spot Bookmark important locations
Week 3+: Contribute
/dig-suggest Get smart navigation suggestions
/dig-note Document discoveries for team
/dig-impact Analyze change impact before coding
/dig-analytics Track your learning progress
Result
New developers understand the codebase structure in days instead of months. Team knowledge is preserved and accessible.
Large-Scale Refactoring
Refactor with confidence, track every step
Phase 1: Analysis (Days 1-3)
Understand Current State
/dig-deps authentication - Map all dependencies/dig-impact - Assess change impact/dig-hotspots - Find change-heavy areas/dig-coverage - Check test coveragePlan & Document
/dig-snapshot pre-refactor - Save baseline/mark-spot critical-files - Bookmark key files/dig-note "Refactor plan" - Document strategy/dig-wiki - Update team wikiPhase 2: Execution (Weeks 1-2)
Navigate Confidently
/goto-spot critical-files - Jump to bookmarks/dig-back / /dig-forward - Browser-like nav/dig-suggest - Get smart next steps/dig-search - Find related code instantlyTrack Progress
/dig-stats - Daily progress metrics/dig-history - Review what you changed/dig-note - Document each change/dig-report weekly - Team status updatesPhase 3: Validation (Final Week)
Verify Changes
/dig-diff - Compare before/after/dig-gaps - Find missed areas/dig-coverage - Verify test coverage improved/dig-analytics - Full impact reportShare Knowledge
/dig-wiki - Update documentation/dig-report final - Complete summary/dig-snapshot post-refactor - New baseline/dig-team - Share learnings with teamResult
Complete refactoring with full traceability. Every decision documented, every change tracked, zero knowledge lost.
