mtk-agent-toolkit: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/context-engineering/SKILL.md

context-engineering is a skill for Claude Code from moberghr/mtk-agent-toolkit. It costs 32 tokens per session (889 once invoked), scanned B, original, MIT.

A set of instructions for managing the information an AI coding agent uses during a session. It describes how to save useful state, select relevant files, and refresh context when work changes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when starting work, changing from planning to coding or review, entering an unfamiliar codebase, or bringing the agent back in line with project conventions.
Why use it?
Large projects contain more information than an agent can use at once. These practices help it retain important decisions and focus on the material needed for the current task.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: user-invocable in frontmatter. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions Claude Code.

This is moberghr/mtk-agent-toolkit's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on mtk-agent-toolkit itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything mtk-agent-toolkit configures →

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

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 B, and why

context-engineering scanned grade B with 1 finding 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 16d 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.

Overview

Load the minimum context the current phase needs, from the right stack, and refresh it when the scope changes. The constitution (AGENTS.md / CLAUDE.md) is already loaded by the harness; do not re-read it.

When To Use

  • Phase 0 of fix, batch-fix, and implement, and at every later phase boundary
  • Entering an unfamiliar area, or when new files enter scope

Workflow

  1. Resolve the stack for the files in scope. bash scripts/resolve-tech-stack.sh <path> is polyglot-aware (subproject .claude/tech-stack → root .claude/tech-stack.map glob → root file). Pass a representative target path, not $PWD, when the change sits in a subtree; add --check <paths> to warn when the resolved stack disagrees with the files. Then read .claude/skills/tech-stack-{stack}/SKILL.md for build/test commands and reference paths. If nothing resolves, infer with bash scripts/setup-detect.sh --json (read-only) and load the matching stack skill; if that is empty too, say the stack is unconfigured (suggest /mtk-setup) and continue in degraded mode.
  2. Load references for the current phase only. Spec: domain-finance.md (finance and security supplement, only when scope touches auth/financial/infra) and the stack's testing supplement. Implementation: the stack's ## Reference Files entries for the touched layers. Review: pre-commit-review-list.md if present. Read by section where one section is enough.
  3. applyTo matching. Reference entries in .claude/manifest.json may declare an applyTo glob array. Test each file in scope (the spec's change_manifest, else git diff --name-only HEAD) against the globs with case/fnmatch semantics; load the references that match at least one file and skip the rest. References without applyTo load on demand per phase. Re-run the match when new files enter scope.
  4. Native paths: rules. .claude/rules/*.md carry paths: frontmatter and Claude Code loads a rule only when a matching file is read or edited. Do not read every rule up front; when the task needs a rule whose paths did not match (a security pass, a release), read that one file.
  5. Read the file to be changed and 2-3 neighbours that set the local pattern.
  6. Independent reads go out in one message, not sequentially.

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-engineering is a skill published in the GitHub repository moberghr/mtk-agent-toolkit (9 stars, last pushed 8d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 32 tokens to every session and 889 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it B with 1 finding (reads agent configuration directories). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
