context

context is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from epicsagas/epic-harness. It costs 33 tokens per session (239 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A session-management tool that saves the current conversation state, shortens an overgrown conversation, and resumes work with the saved context.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to snapshot progress, preserve decisions and changed files, compact long sessions, and resume from the saved state.
Why use it?
It helps an AI coding session continue when the conversation becomes too large or a major new task starts.

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.

Security

Grade A, and why

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 today.

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

Context — Working-State Snapshot

Compaction timing belongs to the host (native auto-compaction; the harness already snapshots state on the PreCompact hook). This skill is about WHAT survives, not WHEN to compact.

Process

Before or during compaction, restate the working state in one block:

- Working on: [task description]
- Files modified: [explicit list]
- Status: [what's done, what remains]
- Key decisions: [important choices made, with why]
- Next step: [what to do after compaction]

Keep it terse — this block is what you (and the resume hook) reload after compaction. Re-reading large files afterwards costs more than summarizing the key facts beforehand.

Evidence Required

  • Task, files, decisions, and next step all present in the summary block
  • Snapshot written by the PreCompact hook (show file name if asked)
Changes

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 skill published in the GitHub repository epicsagas/epic-harness (17 stars, last pushed today), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 33 tokens to every session and 239 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.
