context-manager

A context manager for agsync, a tool that shares project instructions and reusable patterns across coding agents. It creates or updates instruction and pattern files and can convert Cursor or CodeRabbit rules.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to set up agsync context, add guidelines, create patterns, or migrate .cursorrules, Cursor rule files, and CodeRabbit configuration.
Why use it?
It removes the need to manually rewrite project guidance when moving between agent tools or organizing shared coding rules.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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-manager 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 3d 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.

What it actually says

  1. Author .agsync/instructions.md (root or package) and .agsync/patterns/*.md
  2. Migrate from .cursorrules, .cursor/rules/*.mdc, or .coderabbit.yaml
  3. Validate with agsync validate after every write

HLD

Prose description of architecture and intent.

Guidelines

  • id: rule-id rule: "the rule, phrased as a constraint" override: true # only if overriding a parent rule with same id

**pattern file format** (`.agsync/patterns/<name>.md`):
```markdown
---
id: pattern-name
---

## HLD
Why this pattern exists.

## Guidelines
- id: rule-id
  rule: "the rule"

Migration rules:

  • .cursorrules flat text → extract imperative lines → propose as guidelines in root instructions.md
  • .mdc with globs: → map globs to paths: on guidelines or apply_patterns
  • .coderabbit.yaml path_instructions → reverse-map each path entry to guidelines with matching paths:
  • Ask before deleting source files
Changes

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-manager is a skill published in the GitHub repository yiftahb/agsync (10 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 60 tokens to every session and 594 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.
