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.

SkillSpector: 1 finding, up to medium
These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →
- medium Excessive Agency · line 6 Skill selects an external model or provider that may use a different account or billing plan than the operator expects. Undisclosed model switches can cause unexpected cost or quota consumption.Fix: Remove the model/provider override or disclose it prominently and require explicit operator approval before invoking an external coding CLI or billed model.
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 | $0.00046 | $0.00942 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00023 | $0.00471 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00009 | $0.00188 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00094 |
Grade A, and why
load-context 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 8d 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 — 82 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Load Context
Load session state from CONTEXT-{stream}-llm.md and optionally expand full resources.
Speed: < 3 seconds (default), 5-8 seconds (--full)
⚠️ AskUserQuestion Guard
CRITICAL: After EVERY AskUserQuestion call, check if answers are empty/blank. Known Claude Code bug: outside Plan Mode, AskUserQuestion silently returns empty answers without showing UI.
If answers are empty: DO NOT proceed with assumptions. Instead:
- Output: "⚠️ Questions didn't display (known Claude Code bug outside Plan Mode)."
- Present the options as a numbered text list and ask user to reply with their choice number.
- WAIT for user reply before continuing.
Performance Rules
- Use
rtkfor ALL shell commands - Parallel tool calls — ALL independent calls in one message
- Minimize round-trips
- No unnecessary synthesis — present parsed data directly
Workflow
Phase 1: Detect & Read (parallel)
Bash: rtk ls -t CONTEXT-*llm.md done/CONTEXT-*llm.md 2>/dev/null || true
Read: CONTEXT-{stream}-llm.md (if stream known from $ARGUMENTS)
If not found in project root, check done/ subfolder. If found there, note 📦 (from done/) in report.
If multiple streams and no selection → AskUserQuestion with options (mark done/ files with 📦).
Filename: "default" → CONTEXT-llm.md, "{name}" → CONTEXT-{name}-llm.md
Role: if --as <role> is passed, record it as this session's active role. A later /save-context call in the same session reuses it without needing --as again.
Phase 2: Expand Resources (if --full)
Parallel Read: OpenSpec project/proposal/tasks.md, hot files, manifest.yaml.
Hot file selection: --full reads all hot files (all roles); default (lean) reads [P1]-tagged only, across ALL roles, not just mine (untagged = P2 = lean-skip). Fallback if no tags present: top 3.
DO NOT restore tasks — informational only.
Thinking Artifacts (if ## Thinking Artifacts section exists in CONTEXT file):
- Default mode: display artifact paths in resume report (no content read)
--fullmode: Read referenced$PRAXIS_DIR/thinkingartifacts and include brief summaries in report- If
$PRAXIS_DIRis unset: display paths as-is, note⚠️ $PRAXIS_DIR not set
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.
- 8d ago First seen · 82 lines · 46 tokens per session scan A 8a04669c62a8
load-context is a skill published in the GitHub repository digital-stoic-org/agent-skills (20 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 46 tokens to every session and 942 once invoked, about $0.0002 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.

mem0-oss-to-platform
Plan and then execute a migration of a project from the mem0 open-source / self-hosted SDK (the local Memory class) to the mem0 Platform / hosted / managed SDK (the MemoryClient class). Use this whenever a developer wants to move, switch, or migrate their mem0 usage off OSS/self-hosted to the hosted API — e.g.…

ha-data-stores
Map of Hope Agent's local data stores and safe read-only query workflow. Use when the user asks where Hope Agent stores data, wants to inspect sessions/messages/memory/logs/background jobs/knowledge indexes/settings, asks the model to query local app data, or debugging requires checking persisted state.

establishing-project-context
Use when the user asks to establish shared project language, or project work exposes a conflicting, renamed, or deprecated domain term that needs active semantic modeling. Routine small tasks stay on the fast path.
