context-gather

context-gather is a skill for Claude Code from rjmurillo/ai-agents. It costs 94 tokens per session (1,677 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A context-collection workflow that searches stored memories, project knowledge, documentation, DeepWiki, and web sources before planning or implementation. It returns a focused summary for the next step.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to research a technology or task, collect architectural context, find documentation and code examples, and prepare implementation work.
Why use it?
It gathers relevant background in one pass so planning and coding are based on existing knowledge instead of repeated or incomplete searches.

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-gather 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 13d 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 — 140 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Context Gather

Collect multi-source context before planning or implementation. Searches Serena, Context7, DeepWiki, and web sources, then returns a focused summary. The closing CONTEXT_LOADED: marker is read only by this skill's own Phase 1 scan, which skips a repeat fetch for the same topic in one conversation.

Model choice (behavior change from prior /context-gather slash command): this skill's frontmatter carries no model field, so it inherits the harness default rather than the slash command's pinned opus. Context retrieval is search-and-synthesis work, not deep reasoning. Skill behavior is otherwise unchanged.

Triggers

Phrase Context
gather context for User requests pre-work context collection
context-gather Direct skill invocation, or autoplan routing an unfamiliar topic here before research (SPEC-005)
what do we know about Exploratory context retrieval

Quick Reference

Field Value
Input Task description or technology topic (free text)
Output Focused summary with code snippets, architectural insights, and CONTEXT_LOADED: <topic> marker
Quality Gate Summary addresses the stated topic; at least one queried tier reconciled (short-circuit and early-stop exempt); marker line present

When to Use

Use this skill when:

  • Starting a complex task that needs multi-source context before planning or implementation.
  • autoplan routes an unfamiliar-topic request here before research.
  • You need to pull framework-specific guidance from Context7 alongside project memory.
  • Exploring what the memory tiers already record about a topic before committing to an approach.

When to Skip

Skip this skill when:

  • A CONTEXT_LOADED: <topic> marker for the same topic already exists in the current conversation. Do not re-fetch.
  • The task is trivial and single-step (no external context needed).
  • You already have sufficient context from a prior skill invocation or manual research.
  • The topic is purely internal to the current file (no cross-cutting concerns).

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.
