context-compare

context-compare is a skill for Claude Code from ai-analyst-lab/ai-analyst-plugin. It costs 72 tokens per session (1,690 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of context-compare, MIT.

A method for testing how much a piece of context changes an analytics answer. It asks the same question with and without that context, such as a written definition of a metric.

In plain words
What is it for?
Running paired analytics questions, measuring changes between the two runs, and checking whether definitions or other supplied context affect the result.
Why use it?
It replaces guesses about whether context helps with a direct comparison of the results. This can reveal whether answers become more consistent or use the intended definition.

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-compare 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 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.

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.

Skill: Context compare (with and without)

Purpose

Measure what a piece of context is doing, instead of asserting it. Run the same question two ways, once without the context (for example, no metric definition) and once with it, and report the delta: did the spread collapse, did the runs start citing the definition, did the verdict go from drifts to stable. The setup whose presence collapses the drift is the context that moves the answer. Convergence is stability, not correctness.

Invocation

/context-compare "<the question>" --with <the definition> [N] Default N = 5. The context under test is a meaning-only definition, usually a metric definition: the user states it in conversation, points at a definition YAML file, or names an entry already in the metric dictionary. The baseline is the analyst with that definition absent from the dictionary.

Example: /context-compare "What's our retention rate?" --with "Retention Rate (30d): share of accounts at least 30 days old that were active in the trailing 30 days"

How to run it

This skill is glue plus bookkeeping, and the whole procedure is manual: you stage the definition into the active dataset's metric dictionary, run the reliability procedure once per arm, compute the delta between the two arms, and restore the dictionary. The run step is the reliability skill (a sibling of this one); the per-arm statistics come from that skill's bundled script. The user never types a command; you do each step. This skill ships no scripts of its own.

Script path. The stats script is bundled with the reliability skill: scripts/reliability_stats.py inside the reliability skill's directory, which sits next to this one (from this skill's own directory the relative path is ../reliability/scripts/reliability_stats.py). If the skill install path cannot be resolved (some sandboxed environments): read the script file from the reliability skill, write a copy into a scripts/ folder inside the working folder, and run it from there. The script is self-contained. In every case run it from the working-folder root, so its audit-log append lands in .knowledge/reliability/log.jsonl.

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.
