Context Engineering Skills skills

This skill should be used when designing multi-agent systems that need context isolation, supervisor or swarm coordination, explicit handoffs, parallel execution, or a decision on whether multiple agents are justified.

This skill should be used when the user asks to "write a post", "check my voice", "look up contact", "prepare for meeting", "weekly review", "track goals", or mentions personal brand, content creation, network management, or voice consistency.

This skill should be used when the user asks to "share memory between agents", "KV cache compaction for multi-agent", "orchestrator worker context", "latent briefing", "reduce worker tokens", "cross-agent memory without summarization", or discusses Attention Matching compaction, recursive language models with workers, or token explosion in hierarchical agents.

This skill should be used for persistent semantic memory in agent systems: cross-session knowledge retention, entity tracking, temporal validity, graph or vector retrieval, memory consolidation, and memory benchmark selection. Route file-backed scratchpads to filesystem-context, handoff summaries to context-compression, and token-efficiency tactics to context-optimization.

This skill should be used for project-level decisions about LLM-powered systems: whether an LLM is the right primitive for the task at hand, the shape of a multi-stage batch or agent pipeline, token and cost estimation, choosing between single-agent and multi-agent at the project level, structured output design for downstream parsing, and structuring agent-assisted iteration. Use this when the unit of work is a whole project or a multi-stage pipeline. Route individual tool design to tool-design and individual skill-loading or context-budget tactics to context-optimization.

This skill should be used when the user asks to "fine-tune on books", "create SFT dataset", "train style model", "extract ePub text", or mentions style transfer, LoRA training, book segmentation, or author voice replication.

This skill should be used when modeling agent mental states with BDI concepts: beliefs, desires, intentions, RDF-to-belief transformations, rational agency traces, cognitive agents, BDI ontologies, and neuro-symbolic AI integration.

Ensure thorough validation, error recovery, and transparent reasoning in research tasks with multiple tool calls

This skill should be used for improving context efficiency: context budgeting, observation masking, prefix or KV-cache strategy, partitioning, token-cost reduction, retrieval scoping, and extending effective context capacity without lowering answer quality.

This skill should be used for the tool-interface layer of an agent system specifically: writing tool descriptions agents can route on, designing tool schemas and response formats, naming conventions, actionable error recovery messages, MCP server design, tool-set consolidation, and deciding when to add or remove an individual tool. Use this when the unit of work is a single tool or a set of tools. Route project-shape, pipeline architecture, and task-model-fit decisions to project-development; route deciding whether to introduce sub-agents to multi-agent-patterns.

This skill should be used to explain or reason about the foundational concepts of context engineering: what context is, the anatomy of a context window, how attention mechanics work, the U-shaped attention curve, why context quality matters more than quantity, and the mental models needed to interpret every other context-engineering decision. Use this for conceptual explanation, onboarding, and background reading. Route operational work to the specialized skills: debugging attention failures goes to context-degradation, token-efficiency work goes to context-optimization, conversation summarization goes to context-compression, and project-shape decisions go to project-development.

This skill should be used when long-running agent sessions need context compression, structured summarization, compaction, token-per-task optimization, or durable handoff summaries that preserve decisions, files, risks, and next actions.

Debug and optimize AI agents by analyzing reasoning traces, context degradation, tool confusion, instruction drift, repeated task failures, and performance regressions.

This skill should be used when building agent evaluation systems: deterministic checks, regression suites, multi-dimensional rubrics, quality gates, production monitoring, baseline comparison, and outcome measurement for agent pipelines.

This skill should be used when agent work needs file-backed context: durable scratchpads, tool-output offloading, just-in-time discovery, cross-agent handoff files, filesystem memory, or cleanup policies for context stored outside the prompt.

This skill should be used for diagnosing and mitigating context degradation: lost-in-middle failures, context poisoning, context clash, context confusion, attention-pattern issues, and agent performance degradation caused by accumulated or conflicting context.

This skill should be used when designing autonomous agent harnesses: research loops, evaluation scaffolds, locked and editable surfaces, durable logs, novelty gates, pruning, rollback, PR preparation, and human approval boundaries.

This skill should be used when designing hosted or background agent infrastructure: sandboxed execution, remote coding environments, warm pools, session persistence, multiplayer collaboration, self-spawning agents, or Modal-style sandboxes.

This skill should be used for advanced LLM evaluation: LLM-as-judge systems, direct scoring, pairwise comparison, rubric calibration, evaluator bias mitigation, confidence scoring, and automated quality assessment.
