Context Status
Show current context window state and consumption analysis.
Instructions
You are analyzing the current context window state.
Step 1: Measure Context
Use the /context command to get current context window state.
Report the metrics:
- Current token consumption
- Percentage of window used
- Warning indicators
Step 2: Analyze Consumption
Break down what's consuming context:
- System prompt estimate
- Tool definitions estimate
- Conversation history
- Files read in this session
- Recent tool results
Step 3: Health Assessment
Assess context health:
| Utilization | Status | Recommendation |
|---|---|---|
| <50% | Healthy | Continue working |
| 50-70% | Watch | Monitor for bloat |
| 70-85% | Caution | Consider delegation or fresh instance |
| >85% | Action Required | Start fresh instance |
Step 4: Report
Output
Provide status report:
## Context Status Report
**Utilization:** XX% (XXXXXX / XXXXXX tokens)
**Status:** [Healthy/Watch/Caution/Action Required]
### Consumption Breakdown
- System + Tools: ~XX%
- Conversation: ~XX%
- Files Read: ~XX%
- Tool Results: ~XX%
### Recommendations
- [Specific recommendations based on state]
### Context Health Indicators
- [ ] Fresh instance (low history)
- [ ] Focused context (relevant files only)
- [ ] Controlled outputs (minimal verbosity)
Notes
- This command helps monitor context for elite context engineering
- Use before complex operations to ensure headroom
- If approaching limits, consider @reduce-delegate-framework skill
- See @context-layers.md for understanding context composition
