Why a Separate CLI?

App Store apps run in a sandbox that prevents them from installing CLI tools to system paths. This Homebrew tap provides the CLI as a separately-installed tool that works alongside the App Store version of Contextify.

If you use the DMG version of Contextify (from contextify.sh/download), the CLI and plugin are automatically installed and you don't need this tap.

Upgrading

brew upgrade contextify-query
contextify-query install-plugin  # Re-run to update plugin

Troubleshooting

"database not found" error:

1. Install Contextify from the Mac App Store
2. Open Contextify once to initialize the database
3. Run: contextify-query status

Plugin not working in Claude Code:

1. Run: contextify-query install-plugin
2. Restart Claude Code completely (quit and reopen)
3. Check plugin is registered: cat ~/.claude/plugins/installed_plugins.json
