context-manager

A guide for organizing the information an AI system receives and remembers while working. It covers shared context for multiple AI agents, searchable knowledge stores, and deciding which information matters now.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to design information retrieval, memory, and coordination for AI workflows. It can also help manage context size, remove outdated details, and keep long-running projects consistent.
Why use it?
It helps prevent AI systems from losing important details, using irrelevant information, or exceeding their context limits during long or complex tasks.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

context-manager scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

This is a copy

98% identical to agent-orchestration-context-manager — 19 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

context-manager is an agent published in the GitHub repository PayRequest/claude-plugins (11 stars, last pushed 10mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 62 tokens to every session and 1,320 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 98% identical to agent-orchestration-context-manager, differing in 19 lines, and is treated as a copy.
