contextualize

A skill that checks and repairs instruction files used by coding agents, such as CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, and GEMINI.md. It makes clear that HACF is a development toolchain rather than the subject of the project.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after installing or updating HACF, or when agent instructions start appearing as if they were product requirements or project features.
Why use it?
It prevents the coding assistant from confusing its own setup files with the product being built. This reduces misleading project plans, requirements documents, and architecture notes.

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

contextualize 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 yesterday.

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.

Hyper-Contextualize

This skill audits the installed HACF agent instruction files (CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, GEMINI.md) to verify they frame HACF as a development toolchain rather than the project subject. It also checks README.md for HACF context bleed.

Run this skill:

  • After installing HACF into an existing project for the first time
  • When you notice the AI treating HACF skills/schemas as the project's own features
  • After /hyper-update if you merged agent files and the framing may have been lost

Step 1 — Pre-flight Check

Verify .agents/ exists in the current directory. If not, halt with: ERROR: No .agents/ directory found. This is not an HACF project.


Step 2 — Scan Agent Files

Read each of the following from the project root if they exist: CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, GEMINI.md, README.md

For each agent file (CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, GEMINI.md), check:

  1. Framing banner present? Look for the string HACF as a Toolchain near the top of the file.
  2. Internal migration notice present? Look for any of: deadline 2026-06-17, CI lint will enforce, docs/MIGRATION_RULES.md.
  3. Framework Upgrade & Maintenance section present? Look for a heading with exactly that text — it describes /hyper-update internals and should not appear in user project docs.

Step 3 — Report Findings

Print a structured audit report:

HACF Contextualization Audit
─────────────────────────────────────────────
✅ CLAUDE.md   — Framing: PRESENT  |  Internal notices: NONE
⚠️  AGENTS.md   — Framing: MISSING  |  Internal notices: FOUND (migration notice)
❌ GEMINI.md   — File not found (Gemini not installed — skip)
📄 README.md   — Checked (see findings below)

If all installed agent files pass all checks: output [CONTEXTUALIZED: OK] and stop.


Step 4 — Ask How to Fix

If any issues were found, use AskUserQuestion with these options:

  • Replace with install templates (Recommended) — copies .agents/install-templates/<file> over each affected file. Canonical framing, no stale notices. Project-specific customizations in the current files will be lost.
  • Inject framing banner only — prepends the "HACF as a Toolchain" block to each affected file without touching the rest. Preserves existing content but does NOT remove stale migration notices.
  • Show diff first, decide per file — display a summary of differences between install template and current file, then ask Replace / Inject / Skip for each file individually.

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.

contextualize is a skill published in the GitHub repository tjmustard/Hypergraph-Coding-Agent-Framework (2 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 66 tokens to every session and 1,643 once invoked, about $0.0003 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.
