Great idea!

I use task sorting to separate my contexts. C-u
sacha/planner-score-sort-tasks makes it easy to bubble up tasks with a
certain keyword. I also have this other planner-sort-task-key-function
that sorts by time, priority, and a few other things. With a little
tweaking, I'm sure we can get it to sort by @____ - whatever word's in
your context!

<grin> I prefer having as few prompts as I can, so I'd probably go
with just having @ complete properly in the minibuffer (doesn't it?).
I have some code that automatically picks up priority and status from
the task description, and I've been lazy enough to specify contexts in
task descriptions as well.

Give that approach a try and see if it works for you. Then again,
there's probably a reason why you wrote your code the way you
did... =)

Awesome idea! =D
