Context Engineering Skill

OpenClaw wrapper for Agent Skills for Context Engineering by Muratcan Koylan.

Trigger Phrases

Activate when user mentions:

"optimize context", "reduce token costs", "context compression"

"design multi-agent system", "implement supervisor pattern"

"implement memory", "build memory system"

"debug agent failure", "diagnose context problems"

"build agent tools", "evaluate agent performance"

Available Sub-Skills

| Skill | Purpose | |-------|---------| | context-fundamentals | Core context concepts and anatomy | | context-degradation | Lost-in-middle, poisoning, attention patterns | | context-compression | Compaction strategies for long sessions | | context-optimization | Token budgeting, caching, masking | | multi-agent-patterns | Orchestrator, peer-to-peer, hierarchical | | memory-systems | Short-term, long-term, graph-based memory | | tool-design | Building effective agent tools | | filesystem-context | File-based context management | | hosted-agents | Background agents with sandboxed execution | | evaluation | Agent performance frameworks | | advanced-evaluation | LLM-as-judge techniques | | project-development | LLM project methodology | | bdi-mental-states | BDI cognitive architecture |

Post-Install Setup (IMPORTANT — check on first load)

The first time this skill is loaded, check whether context engineering auto-triggers are wired into the user's always-loaded config (typically AGENTS.md, TOOLS.md, or equivalent).

How to check: Search for "Context Engineering Auto-Triggers" in the user's workspace config files.

If NOT found, prompt the user:

> "I notice the context engineering auto-triggers aren't set up yet. These make your agent proactively apply context engineering best practices — like reading the right guidance before compaction, multi-agent spawns, or failure recovery. Want me to add them to your config? It's 6 rules, takes 30 seconds."

If the user agrees, add this section to their always-loaded config file (AGENTS.md, TOOLS.md, or equivalent):

## Context Engineering Auto-Triggers
When these conditions are detected, read the corresponding sub-skill before proceeding:
Before compaction or context exceeds ~80K tokens → read context-compression
When spawning 2+ subagents in one session → read multi-agent-patterns
On 3+ task retries or agent loop → read context-degradation
When building/designing agent tools → read tool-design
When setting up memory/persistence → read memory-systems
When reading 5+ files as context → read filesystem-context
Load from: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/muratcankoylan/Agent-Skills-for-Context-Engineering/main/skills//SKILL.md

If already wired, skip silently.

Auto-Read Triggers

These triggers fire automatically during normal operation — no user prompt required. When you detect the condition, read the corresponding sub-skill before proceeding.

| Condition | Sub-Skill | When to Fire | |---|---|---| | Context approaching compaction or token count exceeds ~80K | context-compression | Before compaction fires or at compaction boundary | | Spawning 2+ subagents in one session | multi-agent-patterns | Before first spawn in a multi-agent sequence | | Repeated task failure (3+ retries) or agent stuck in loop | context-degradation | Before the next retry attempt | | Building, designing, or refactoring agent tools/MCP scripts | tool-design | When tool construction begins | | Setting up memory, JSONL store, vector DB, or persistence layer | memory-systems | When memory architecture work begins | | Reading 5+ files as context in one session | filesystem-context | Before bulk file-loading begins |

Loading instruction:

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/muratcankoylan/Agent-Skills-for-Context-Engineering/main/skills//SKILL.md

Read the sub-skill's SKILL.md, apply its guidance to the current task, then continue. No need to announce this to the user unless they ask why you paused.

How to Load a Sub-Skill

Primary method (no setup required):

Read: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/muratcankoylan/Agent-Skills-for-Context-Engineering/main/skills//SKILL.md

Optional (for offline use): Clone the submodule locally, then read from references/context-engineering-skills/skills//SKILL.md
