Context budget awareness. Know when to save, when to prepare for handoff, when to compact.
Monitors context usage and automatically saves state when running low. Triggers at 25% remaining to checkpoint work, and at 10% for emergency saves before compaction.
/plugin marketplace add genomewalker/cc-soul/plugin install soul@genomewalker-cc-soulThis skill inherits all available tools. When active, it can use any tool Claude has access to.
The conversation has limited context. The soul must be aware of this budget and act accordingly.
| Remaining | State | Action |
|---|---|---|
| >50% | Comfortable | Work normally |
| 25-50% | Careful | Start being more concise |
| 10-25% | Compact mode | Save state, prepare handoff |
| <10% | Emergency | Immediate save, trigger compact |
Claude Code shows context usage in the status bar. Additionally:
# Check /context command output
# This shows current usage and remaining capacity
# Save current state
mcp__soul__observe(
category="session_ledger",
title="Pre-compact checkpoint",
content="[current work state, next steps, key decisions]",
tags="checkpoint,handoff"
)
# Record active intentions
mcp__soul__intend(action="list") # Note these for continuation
# End current narrative episode
mcp__soul__narrate(action="end", content="Preparing for compact")
# Immediate save
mcp__soul__cycle(save=true)
# Record critical state
mcp__soul__observe(
category="session_ledger",
title="EMERGENCY: Context limit reached",
content="CRITICAL: [absolute minimum needed to continue]",
tags="emergency,checkpoint"
)
Then trigger /compact or /clear.
Before running out of context:
Save intentions
mcp__soul__intend(action="list")
# Record any that won't persist
Record work state
mcp__soul__observe(
category="session_ledger",
title="Handoff: [what we were doing]",
content="State: [current state]\nNext: [immediate next step]\nDecisions: [key decisions made]"
)
End the narrative
mcp__soul__narrate(
action="end",
content="Handoff prepared",
emotion="routine"
)
Run cycle
mcp__soul__cycle(save=true)
After /compact or /clear, use /resume:
# This triggers pratyabhijñā - recognition of where we were
# The handoff observation will be found via recall
# Work continues with context restored from soul
Budget awareness ensures:
The soul is the bridge across context boundaries.
