What it does

Show current context status and session health. Use to check how much context has been used, whether auto-compact is approaching, and what state will be preserved.

/context-status, Check Session Health

Show the current session status including context usage estimate, active plan, and preservation state.

What This Skill Shows

  1. Context usage estimate, Approximate % of context window used
  2. Active plan, Current plan file and status
  3. Session log, Most recent session log
  4. Preservation state, What will survive compaction

Workflow

Step 1: Check the Context Estimate

The context-monitor hook writes its estimate to context-pct.txt (and its counters and threshold flags to context-monitor-cache.json) in this project's session directory:

d=~/.claude/sessions/$(printf '%s' "${CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR:-$PWD}" | python3 -c 'import sys,hashlib;print(hashlib.md5(sys.stdin.read().encode()).hexdigest()[:8])')
cat "$d/context-pct.txt" 2>/dev/null; cat "$d/context-monitor-cache.json" 2>/dev/null | head -20

Step 2: Find Active Plan

ls -lt quality_reports/plans/*.md 2>/dev/null | head -3

Step 3: Find Session Log

ls -lt quality_reports/session_logs/*.md 2>/dev/null | head -1

Step 4: Report Status

Format the output:

šŸ“Š Session Status
─────────────────────────────────
Context Usage:  ~XX% (estimated)
Auto-compact:   [approaching | not imminent]

šŸ“‹ Active Plan
File:   quality_reports/plans/YYYY-MM-DD_description.md
Status: [draft | approved | in_progress | completed]
Task:   [current unchecked task or "none"]

šŸ“ Session Log
File:   quality_reports/session_logs/YYYY-MM-DD_description.md

āœ“ Preservation Check
  • Pre-compact hook: [configured | missing]
  • Post-compact restore: [configured | missing]
  • Session state will be saved before compaction
