context-docs

context-docs is a skill for Claude Code from yeaight7/agent-powerups. It costs 43 tokens per session (640 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A method for placing lasting notes about a software subsystem in a small context file next to its code. These notes describe the subsystem's boundaries and rules for future engineers or coding agents.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to document how a module communicates with the rest of an application and which conditions must always remain true. It also helps decide whether information belongs beside the module or in central project documentation.
Why use it?
It prevents the same questions from being answered repeatedly and reduces mistakes caused by forgotten boundaries or rules. It also avoids making one large documentation file harder to use.

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 1mo 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.

Purpose

Large centralized documentation files consume too much context window. Decentralized, module-specific context docs provide targeted information exactly when an agent needs it.

When to Use

  • A module's boundaries or invariants keep being rediscovered the hard way
  • Onboarding or agent sessions repeatedly ask the same questions about a subsystem
  • After a refactor changed how a module communicates with the rest of the app

Inputs

  • The subsystem directory and its public interface
  • Existing docs, to avoid duplicating the central README or architecture docs

Workflow

  1. Decide where the context belongs. Module-specific knowledge goes in a context file inside the subsystem directory (e.g., src/auth/CONTEXT.md); repo-wide knowledge belongs in the central README or architecture docs — one home per fact, never both:

    find src -iname "CONTEXT.md" -o -iname "README.md"   # existing context docs
    rg -ln "<module name>" docs/                         # already documented centrally?
    
  2. Document only the boundaries. How does this module communicate with the rest of the app? What are its critical invariants? Not implementation detail the code already states.

  3. Keep it terse. Bullet points and exact file paths. No transient notes — session state, TODO lists, and progress logs belong in handoff documents, not context docs.

  4. Validate every path the doc references:

    rg -no "src/[A-Za-z0-9_./-]+" src/auth/CONTEXT.md | sort -u   # referenced paths
    test -f src/auth/session.ts && echo OK                        # confirm each exists
    
  5. Update these files inline when refactoring the module. A context doc that lags the refactor is worse than none.

Output

  • A short, boundary-focused context file inside the subsystem directory
  • Stale or central-doc-duplicating content removed or relocated

Verification

  • Doc lives inside the subsystem it describes
  • Content is boundaries and invariants, not implementation detail or transient notes
  • Every referenced file path verified to exist
  • No duplication of central docs — one home per fact
  • Doc updated in the same change set as the refactor that affected it

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 yeaight7/agent-powerups (6 stars, last pushed 19d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 43 tokens to every session and 640 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-09-14.
