Overview
Context Passing is Spine’s core feature that allows blocks to automatically share information with each other. This creates a seamless flow of information across your canvas, eliminating the need to copy-paste between different AI tools.How Context Flows
When blocks are connected (via drag-and-drop lines), they automatically share context. Any action you take with a block will be grounded in the connected context. Within the current block, you can also pass context explicitly in specific variables. This is useful when you want to tell the block exactly what to do with the connected content. For example: “Update the image [image_block_name] with the new design guidelines [design_guidelines]“Creating Connections
- Hover over a block - Connection points appear on block edges
- Click and drag - From one block’s connection point to another
Best Practices
- Connect related blocks - Link blocks that should inform each other
- Avoid over-connection - Too many connections can create noise
- Use strategic context - Connect blocks where information flow adds value
- Review context flow - Ensure connections are helping, not hindering
