Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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 | $0.00055 | $0.03509 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00028 | $0.01754 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00011 | $0.00702 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00351 |
Grade A, and why
Context Preserver 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 6d 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 667 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Context Preserver
Never lose your place. Resume in 5 minutes. Eliminate "Where was I?" moments.
Core Principle
ADHD brains have high context-switching costs and limited working memory. Every interruption means 15-30 minutes of "getting back into it." The solution: Automatically capture and restore mental state so you can resume work in under 5 minutes.
Key Insight: The act of saving context is therapeutic - it signals "I can stop safely."
The Context Problem
Problem 1: High Context-Switching Cost
Issue: After breaks, spend 15-30 min remembering what you were doing Result: Lost productivity, frustration, avoidance of breaks
###Problem 2: Working Memory Limits Issue: Can't hold complex state in mind Result: Constant re-reading code, forgetting next steps
Problem 3: Interruption Anxiety
Issue: Fear of losing place prevents taking needed breaks Result: Burnout, health issues, reduced quality
Problem 4: "Where Was I?" Syndrome
Issue: Return to work with no idea what you were doing Result: Thrashing, starting over, wasted time
Phase 1: Automatic Context Capture
What Gets Saved (Auto-Every 15 Minutes)
File Context:
- Current file path
- Line number and function
- Related files (imports, dependencies)
- Git branch
Mental State:
- What you were thinking
- What you just finished
- What you're about to do
- Blockers or questions
Environment:
- Dev server status
- Open terminals
- Database state
- API keys loaded
Time Context:
- When you started
- How long you've been working
- When you plan to stop
Automated Saves
Trigger 1: Every 15 Minutes (Background)
[15:30] Auto-save triggered
Context saved:
- File: src/components/login.tsx:42
- Function: handleSubmit()
- Status: Adding API call
- Next: Error handling for 401
- Time working: 45 min
✅ Saved to .adhd/context.json
✅ Micro-commit created (WIP)
Trigger 2: Before Breaks (Manual Command)
What ships with it
2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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 Preserver is a skill published in the GitHub repository daffy0208/ai-dev-standards (36 stars, last pushed 8mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 55 tokens to every session and 3,509 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
