Context Status

Show current context window state and consumption analysis.

Instructions

You are analyzing the current context window state.

Step 1: Measure Context

Use the /context command to get current context window state.

Report the metrics:

  • Current token consumption
  • Percentage of window used
  • Warning indicators

Step 2: Analyze Consumption

Break down what's consuming context:

  • System prompt estimate
  • Tool definitions estimate
  • Conversation history
  • Files read in this session
  • Recent tool results

Step 3: Health Assessment

Assess context health:

UtilizationStatusRecommendation
<50%HealthyContinue working
50-70%WatchMonitor for bloat
70-85%CautionConsider delegation or fresh instance
>85%Action RequiredStart fresh instance

Step 4: Report

Output

Provide status report:

## Context Status Report

**Utilization:** XX% (XXXXXX / XXXXXX tokens)
**Status:** [Healthy/Watch/Caution/Action Required]

### Consumption Breakdown
- System + Tools: ~XX%
- Conversation: ~XX%
- Files Read: ~XX%
- Tool Results: ~XX%

### Recommendations
- [Specific recommendations based on state]

### Context Health Indicators
- [ ] Fresh instance (low history)
- [ ] Focused context (relevant files only)
- [ ] Controlled outputs (minimal verbosity)

Notes

  • This command helps monitor context for elite context engineering
  • Use before complex operations to ensure headroom
  • If approaching limits, consider @reduce-delegate-framework skill
  • See @context-layers.md for understanding context composition
