A status command for tracking the coding session's available context, saved memory files, Git changes, and recent commits. Context is the information the agent can still use from the conversation and project files.

Use it to inspect Memory Bank files, session history, uncommitted changes, the current branch, and recent commits, then decide whether to compact or save the session.

It helps explain why an agent may slow down, forget earlier details, or reread files. It also shows whether session notes exist before reducing the conversation's size.

Origin original No closer match found in the catalogue.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00014	$0.00994
Opus 5.5	$0.00006	$0.00398
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00003	$0.00199
Haiku 4.5	$0.00001	$0.00099

Security

Grade B, and why

context scanned grade B with 1 finding 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 2mo ago.

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.

.claude/, .codex/, .gemini/ hold keys, settings and other credentials a mod has no legitimate need for.

Context Management Guide

Understanding Context Usage

Claude's context window includes:

System prompt and tools
Conversation history
Files read this session
Memory Bank content
CLAUDE.md content

Signs of High Context Usage

Watch for:

Slower responses
Forgetting earlier conversation
Repetitive file re-reading
Contradicting previous statements

Recommended Actions

If context is high (>75%):

Compact manually
```
/compact
```
Summarizes conversation history to free space.
Save session state
```
/session-end
```
Preserves context to Memory Bank before compaction.
Use subagents Delegate research tasks to agents with isolated context.

Proactive context management:

Keep Memory Bank lean
- Archive old session history (>30 days)
- Summarize verbose entries
- Remove outdated context
Use .claudeignore
```
# .claudeignore
node_modules/
dist/
*.log
*.lock
```
Prevents large files from being read.
Scope sessions Work on one subsystem per session when possible.
Clear file focus Tell Claude which files are relevant upfront.

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 is a command published in the GitHub repository llcoolblaze/claude-boris (49 stars, last pushed 9mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 14 tokens to every session and 994 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it B with 1 finding (reads agent configuration directories). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
