context

context is a skill for Claude Code from nicholasglazer/gnosis-mcp. It costs 25 tokens per session (415 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A skill for loading frequently used documents from Gnosis MCP, a knowledge-base service. It can load general context or narrow the results by topic, category, and result limit.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it at session startup or before a topic-specific task to retrieve commonly used or relevant documents.
Why use it?
It helps the agent start with the documents most relevant to a session or question instead of searching the entire knowledge base blindly.

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 2mo 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

Context Loading

Load a compact context summary from your knowledge base — prioritized by actual usage patterns.

Usage

/gnosis:context                          # Top docs by access frequency
/gnosis:context deployment               # Topic-focused context
/gnosis:context --category guides        # Filter by category
/gnosis:context --limit 5 auth           # Limit results

Query: $ARGUMENTS

Process

Without topic (session startup)

Get the most-accessed documents — what matters most based on real usage:

Tool: mcp__gnosis__get_context
Arguments:
  limit: 10

With topic

Get topic-relevant docs enriched with access frequency:

Tool: mcp__gnosis__get_context
Arguments:
  topic: "$ARGUMENTS"
  limit: 10

With --category flag

Tool: mcp__gnosis__get_context
Arguments:
  topic: "$ARGUMENTS"
  category: "{category}"
  limit: 10

Output Format

## Context Summary

**Top documents:**
| # | Title | Category | Accesses | Path |
|---|-------|----------|----------|------|
| 1 | Auth Guide | guides | 47 | curated/guides/auth.md |

**Stats:**
- Total docs: 571
- Total chunks: 14,582
- Categories: guides (38), architecture (12), ...

Notes

  • Access tracking is automatic — search_docs and get_doc log usage
  • First call with no access history returns empty docs + stats only
  • Disable tracking: GNOSIS_MCP_ACCESS_LOG=false
  • Purge old entries: gnosis-mcp cleanup --days 90

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.
