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 | $0.00019 | $0.00091 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00010 | $0.00046 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00004 | $0.00018 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00009 |
Grade A, and why
ctx-branch 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 5d 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.
What it actually says
Usage
ctx-branch <source-workstream> <target-workstream>
Backing script
scripts/skills/ctx_branch.sh
Notes
- The target workstream must not already exist.
- The new branch starts from a copied context snapshot and does not inherit the source workstream's future transcript pulls.
What ships with it
1 file 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.

ctx-branch is a skill published in the GitHub repository dchu917/ctx (128 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 19 tokens to every session and 91 once invoked, about $0.0001 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.
Other skills, from other repositories
alive:system-cleanup
The world feels messy. Stale tasks, orphan folders, v2 remnants, unsaved sessions — entropy is accumulating and needs to be addressed before it compounds. Scans across all walnuts, then surfaces issues one at a time.
alive:world
The human doesn't know what to work on, or wants to see everything at once. They need the big picture — what's active, what's stale, what needs attention. Renders a live world view grouped by ALIVE domain, then routes to open, tidy, find, history, or map.
alive:bundle
Create, share, and graduate bundles — the unit of focused work within a walnut. Manages the full bundle lifecycle from creation through sharing to graduation.
alive:settings
The human wants to adjust how the system behaves — not what it contains, but how it feels. Voice, rhythm, preferences, walnut-level config, full permissions toggleable, named squirrel config, action logging toggle. The system adapting to them. Routes to preferences.yaml or walnut config.yaml depending on scope. For…
cco-budget
Configure token budget limits, auto-compact settings, and view current budget status (model-aware — Claude 5 lineup, Opus 5 default fallback, full 1M context at standard price).
smart-loader
Automatically suggests optimal files to preload based on the user's task description and historical context patterns. Activates when the user starts a new task, mentions reading files, or when session context is being set up.
