lov-auto-context

lov-auto-context is a skill for Claude Code from lovstudio/skills. It costs 112 tokens per session (2,221 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A context-management tool for coding-agent sessions. It checks for long conversations, topic drift, and stale information, then can write project memory, propose instruction changes, or suggest commands such as starting a fresh session.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to assess session context, record project memory, update approved project instructions, or receive recommendations to fork or compact a conversation.
Why use it?
It helps keep the agent focused when a conversation becomes noisy or approaches its context limit, while requiring confirmation before sensitive instruction changes.

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

lov-auto-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 22d 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 — 223 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

上下文哨兵 · Context Sentinel

Not just a health check — a full operator over everything that shapes context. Three layers by action sensitivity:

Layer Examples Behavior
Auto-execute write project memory, update MEMORY.md index Do it, report path
Confirm-first edit global agent instructions, edit project CLAUDE.md, overwrite/delete existing memory Show diff, wait for "yes"
Suggest-only /fork, /compact, /btw, new session Print the exact command to paste

The harness owns /fork and /compact; this skill cannot invoke them. But it can do everything else and will.

Auto Mode (via Plugin Hook)

When the skill-publisher plugin is enabled, a UserPromptSubmit hook monitors transcript size. Above threshold (40+ entries or 150KB+), it injects a lightweight <auto-context> reminder.

When you see <auto-context>:

Context State Action
Mostly relevant Continue, say nothing
Some stale noise Mentally deprioritize, proceed
Mostly irrelevant Suggest /fork or /btw with exact command
Near capacity Suggest /compact or /fork with exact command

Rules:

  • 1 sentence max unless acting.
  • If context is fine, say nothing.
  • Never auto-fork/auto-compact (can't anyway — harness-only).
  • Don't mention "AutoContext" unless asked.

Manual Mode (/lov-auto-context [args])

Two call shapes:

A. Bare call — health report + opportunistic memory write

/lov-auto-context
  1. Measure — estimate turns, tool calls, distinct topics
  2. Assess — healthy / getting noisy / polluted / critical
  3. Scan recent turns for unpersisted feedback/preferences — if the user stated a rule or preference earlier in the session that should persist to future conversations (typical trigger phrases: "从今以后", "以后都", "所有 X 应该 Y", "别再", "记住"), and no memory was written, auto-execute: write the memory file + update MEMORY.md. Report the path. Preferences may include standing authorization when the user explicitly uses durable language such as “以后默认同意”. Preserve its scope instead of downgrading it to a one-off confirmation.
  4. Recommend harness actions if needed (/fork, /compact, /btw) with the exact command to paste.

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.
