contexts

contexts is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from OutlineDriven/odin-gemini-cli-extension. It costs 59 tokens per session (967 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of contexts, Apache-2.0.

An automatic routing command that gathers background before implementation by inspecting the codebase, external documentation, or both. It first identifies which kind of context is needed.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when you need architectural orientation, codebase context, documentation context, or a combination before making a change.
Why use it?
It prevents coding from starting without understanding the relevant project structure or outside libraries and requires the chosen research mode to be stated clearly.

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

contexts 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 6d 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.

Origin

This is a copy

100% identical to contexts — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 78 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Context Command

Auto-router for pre-implementation context gathering. Classify the input as codebase-oriented, doc-oriented, or both; invoke the appropriate workflow; emit a detected: acknowledgement as the first output line.

When to Apply / NOT

Apply:

  • Any request for context, background, or orientation before implementing, fixing, or refactoring
  • "How does X work", "get me context on Y", "what's the architecture of Z"

NOT apply:

  • Bug reproduction or root-cause investigation — use a debugging workflow
  • Already-in-progress implementation — gather context first, then proceed
  • Analysis-only output with no pre-implementation intent

Detected Mode Acknowledgement [LOAD-BEARING]

First output line before ANY work:

detected: <mode> — scope=<paths|libs|both> sources=<brief summary>

Mode values: code-ref, doc-ref, both, ambiguous.

For both mode, also append: (sequential dispatch: codebase first, then external)

Input Classifier

First-match wins. Check in order: both must come before leaf modes so mixed-signal inputs are reachable.

Priority Mode Minimum condition
1 both Repo-local signal (path, glob, symbol, or module) AND external signal (library, framework, SDK, API, CLI, or service name) both present and non-trivial
2 code-ref Repo-local signal present; no external signal
3 doc-ref External signal present; no repo-local signal
4 ambiguous Neither signal cleanly detected, OR signals present but neither dominant

Worked examples:

  • "How does our /autoresearch skill use LangGraph's interrupt for HITL pauses?" → repo signal + external signal → both
  • "Refactor claude/skills/contexts/SKILL.md" → repo signal only → code-ref
  • "Latest Pydantic v2 model_validator signature" → external signal only → doc-ref
  • "Give me context on routing" → no concrete signal → ambiguous → gate fires

Auto-Detect Gate

Fire AskUserQuestion (single-select, NEVER multiSelect) when classifier returns ambiguous OR when both signals are present but one is dominant and the mode is unclear:

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.
