npx claudepluginhub ran729/context-rot-skillDetects rot in your CLAUDE.md and AI context files. Audits recent conversation transcripts to surface stale, redundant, or missing instructions — then outputs a visually stunning health scorecard graded against research-backed anti-pattern taxonomy.
A Claude Code plugin that audits your CLAUDE.md and recent conversation transcripts for context rot — stale, redundant, or missing instructions that quietly degrade AI performance.
Invoke it with /context-rot:context-rot and get back a scored health report with concrete fixes.
A 2026 study — Evaluating AGENTS.md Files as a Form of Specification in Agentic AI (arXiv:2602.11988) — measured what happens when AI agents are given context files like CLAUDE.md:
| Finding | Impact |
|---|---|
| Task success rate | −2% to −4% |
| Inference cost overhead | +20% to +23% |
| Extra reasoning tokens | +22% |
| Additional agent steps per task | +2.45 to +3.92 |
The research conclusion: context files that are overly prescriptive, redundant, or stale actively harm AI performance rather than help it. Most teams don't notice because the degradation is gradual — it's rot.
This plugin makes the rot visible.

/plugin install context-rot@ran729
git clone https://github.com/ran729/context-rot-skill

Claude will work silently through transcript analysis and CLAUDE.md review, then output a scored health report ending with a full visual scorecard.
