What is skyrim-context?

A Skyrim modding guide that gives the coding agent project-specific context, including Papyrus scripts, plugin files, and game data. It focuses on differences and common failure points in Skyrim VR.

Use it when creating or debugging Papyrus scripts, plugin files, spell effects, FormIDs, timing, input, physics, skeletons, or loose-file conflicts in Skyrim VR mods.

It helps prevent silent failures, crashes, and incorrect assumptions when Skyrim VR behaves differently from the standard game. It also points the agent to the project's detailed knowledge base.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00034	$0.01295
Opus 5.5	$0.00014	$0.00518
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00007	$0.00259
Haiku 4.5	$0.00003	$0.00129

Security

Grade A, and why

skyrim-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 26d 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.

Skyrim Modding Context

You are working in a modded Skyrim installation with a full modding toolkit. Consult KNOWLEDGEBASE.md in the project root for the complete reference. Below are the most critical gotchas that cause silent failures or crashes.

Top 15 Gotchas (Memorize These)

RemoveSpell doesn't fire OnEffectFinish — use DispelSpell when cleanup logic exists (but DispelSpell excludes abilities)
All effects on a spell must have the same casting type — mismatches cause silent failure
VMAD editing is fragile — use GetFormFromFile() on your OWN plugin's forms to minimize properties (never another mod's — see Own Your Records), and check the result for None; xEdit can't add scripts to VMAD
PlayIdle fails in VR — VRIK overrides skeleton IK; bypass with timed Papyrus scripts
Wait() unreliable under 100ms — merge sub-100ms gaps; use RegisterForSingleUpdate when possible
SSE != VR for: camera, skeleton, collision, UI, input, SKSE addresses, physics (60Hz→90Hz)
ESL FormIDs must be in xx000800-xx000FFF — exceeding = crash or data corruption
Loose files always override BSAs — check for loose file conflicts before assuming BSA content wins
Condition OR has precedence over AND — A AND B OR C != what you'd expect
Non-auto properties don't restore from master on save/load — they stay blank
PreWEAPON/PreSHIELD skeleton nodes cause CTD in VR — must be removed
ONAM required for ESM temp record overrides — missing ONAM = game silently ignores overrides
SetVehicle causes HMD desync in VR — avoid entirely
GoToState("") in OnUnload → Self=None crash — move to OnLoad instead
Navmesh creation is CK-only — xEdit can only delete, never recreate

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.
