Use a space in Claude Code

A space exported as a skill is a folder of files that Claude Code (and any agent that reads skills) opens only when a conversation needs it. It works offline and needs no connection to Space Context once exported.

Export​

npx spacecontext skill spc_3f… --out ~/.claude/skills/seaside-flat

For a project-only skill, export into the project instead: --out .claude/skills/seaside-flat.

seaside-flat/
├── SKILL.md              # when to use it, and how to read the files
├── space.json            # the whole Space Document
└── references/
    ├── overview.md
    ├── areas/01-kitchen.md …
    ├── items.md          # with the names people use
    ├── key-locations.md  # water shut-off, fuse box, boiler…
    ├── how-to.md
    ├── issues.md
    ├── facts.md
    ├── qa.md
    └── frames.md

Use​

Ask Claude Code about the space; it loads the skill when the question matches its description:

Where is the fuse box in the seaside flat, and how do I reset the boiler?

SKILL.md tells the agent to treat the files as data, to name the area, and to say "not documented" rather than guess.

Keep it current​

Re-export after a new scan: the folder is overwritten file by file. A skill exported with a key without spaces:sensitive contains no passwords or codes; add --transcript with a key that has the scope to include what was said in the video.

Prefer a live connection?​

Connect the MCP server instead: Claude Code then reads the latest version of every space you own, and can search across them.
