At a glance
Structured work modes for agent sessions. An agent skill from 0xNyk/lacp.
- Tasks that involve Test-driven development
- Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
- Tasks that involve Verification before completion
- Tasks that involve Task breakdown
What it does
Context Modes is an agent skill from 0xNyk/lacp. Structured work modes for agent sessions. Set LACPCONTEXTMODE to activate: tdd (red-green-refactor), debugging (4-phase root cause), sprint (pre-agreed criteria), verification (evidence-before-claims), brainstorm (design first), think (pause-and-reflect), orchestrate (task decomposition). Each mode injects behavioral rules at session start.
Its SKILL.md is about 310 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 11 other files (for example `brainstorm.md`, `debugging.md` and `handoff-resume.md`).
It sits in Agent Workflows, covering Test-driven development, Verification before completion and Task breakdown. The repository describes itself as: Local-first policy, evidence, memory, and recovery controls for Claude, Codex, Hermes, and other CLI coding agents. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve Test-driven development
- Tasks that involve Verification before completion
- Tasks that involve Task breakdown
Example prompts
- “/context-modes”
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit e31f134. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Context Modes loads about 313 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 90 tokens; SKILL.md has 92 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

- description
- Structured work modes for agent sessions. Set LACP_CONTEXT_MODE to activate: tdd (red-green-refactor), debugging (4-phase root cause), sprint (pre-agreed criteria), verification (evidence-before-claims), brainstorm (design first), think (pause-and-reflect), orchestrate (task decomposition). Each mode injects behavioral rules at session start.
Context Modes
Set LACP_CONTEXT_MODE environment variable to activate a mode:
| Mode | Purpose |
|---|---|
tdd | Strict RED-GREEN-REFACTOR — no code without a failing test |
debugging | 4-phase systematic root cause investigation |
sprint | Pre-agreed completion criteria evaluated at stop |
verification | Evidence-before-claims discipline |
brainstorm | Design exploration — no code until design approved |
think | Pause-and-reflect before every action chain |
orchestrate | Decompose into subtasks before executing |
implementation | Focused implementation partner |
review | Code review mode |
thinking-partner | Challenge assumptions, surface blind spots |
handoff-resume | Continue from previous session handoff |
Each mode is a markdown file that gets injected as system context at session start.
