context-docs

A guided discovery step that finds where a team keeps engineering documentation, security policies, API specifications, runbooks, and architecture decisions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it at the start of a project or task to ask where each kind of team knowledge lives and label those sources for later analysis.
Why use it?
It prevents development work from overlooking rules, design decisions, or operational instructions stored outside the codebase.

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-docs 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 2d 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 — 62 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Discover where team knowledge, intent, and constraints live. This phase identifies documentation sources and tags them by content type — feeding Phase 8 (Distill) where docs are analyzed to extract actionable intent and guardrails. Use ask_user for each category — one at a time.

Categories

For each, use ask_user with multiple choice + an "Other (specify)" freeform field:

  1. Engineering documentation: Where do developers find how-to guides, architecture docs, onboarding?

    • Options: Confluence, Notion, GitHub Wiki, repo docs/ folder, SharePoint, Other
  2. Security & compliance policies: Where are security standards, compliance requirements, audit docs?

    • Options: Dedicated repo, Confluence, SharePoint, Backstage catalog, Other
  3. API specifications: Where are API contracts and schemas?

    • Options: OpenAPI files in repo, Backstage API catalog, API gateway portal, Confluence, Other
  4. Runbooks & incident procedures: Where do engineers find operational runbooks?

    • Options: Repo path, Confluence, PagerDuty, Notion, Other
  5. Architecture decisions: Where are ADRs and design documents?

    • Options: docs/adr/ in repo, Confluence, GitHub Discussions, Other
  6. Product documentation: Where to find Product and business related documentation, for example: PRD, BRD, BDD, Product strategy

    • Options: Sharepoint/Onedrive, Google Docs, Confluence, repo /docs folder, Other
  7. Processes & ceremonies: Where are team workflows, ceremonies, and operational processes documented? (sprint rituals, deployment processes, incident response flows, code review policies, escalation paths)

    • Options: Confluence, Notion, GitHub Wiki, repo docs/ folder, SharePoint, Other

For each answer, note:

  • The platform (for MCP server matching)
  • The specific location (space key, repo path, URL pattern)
  • Whether it should be referenced in copilot-instructions.md
  • Content tag — classify what kind of content lives there:
    • [intent] — team priorities, values, strategy, what "done well" looks like
    • [constraint] — security policies, compliance rules, approval requirements, deployment rules
    • [process] — ceremonies, workflows, decision flows, escalation paths
    • [reference] — API specs, onboarding guides, how-to docs

These tags feed Phase 8 (Distill), which uses working MCP connections to analyze the docs and extract actionable intent and constraints.

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.

context-docs is a skill published in the GitHub repository suuus/ape-context (2 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 16 tokens to every session and 692 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
