What this skill does

Understand the components, mechanics, and constraints of context in agent systems. Use when writing, editing, or optimizing commands, skills, or sub-agents prompts. Context is the complete state available to a language model at inference time. It includes everything the model can attend to when generating responses: system instructions, tool definitions, retrieved documents, message history, and tool outputs. Understanding context fundamentals is prerequisite to effective context engineering.

When it triggers

  • Use when writing, editing, or optimizing commands, skills, or sub-agents prompts.
