Get, set or delete an element in the chat context.

The chat context is a volatile namespace for variables related to the current chat user, some variables are predefined (like _firstName_, _lastName_, _topic_, _chatId_, etc).

Typically this node is used to manually set the _topic_ of the user before or after entering a [Rivescript node](https://app.notion.com/p/db8481a702b6491093f7ea53d765129e)  or to store the extracted variables of an [Intent payload](https://app.notion.com/p/b4bd4f8db5d243d487430d073c35992b) .

For example, nodes like [Dialogflow node](https://app.notion.com/p/84b9ea66d20743fd9cf45d3de5f17693)  can extract the _intent_ from a sentences along with some variables (numbers, dates, etc). Chaining a [Context node](https://app.notion.com/p/24a646bff58b4edfb249f1d27384230f)  stores these vars in the chat context
