What it does

Agent Context Audit is an agent skill from AI-Builder-Club/skills. Audit a repo's agent context — CLAUDE.md files, codebase docs, skills, and tool/MCP designs — against Anthropic's Claude 5 context-engineering guidance ("unhobbling": Anthropic cut ~80% of Claude Code's system prompt with no eval loss). Finds overconstraint, conflicting instructions, redundancy, stale facts, and missing "unknown knowns"; produces a scored findings report with concrete rewrites, then applies approved fixes. Use when someone says "audit my CLAUDE.md", "context audit", "unhobble this repo", "review…

Its SKILL.md is about 2.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Agent Workflows, covering Codebase knowledge for agents, Prompt engineering and Agent instruction files. It works with Model Context Protocol. The repository describes itself as: Codebase harness + loop engineer.

When your agent uses it

  • Someone says audit my CLAUDE.md
  • Unhobble this repo
  • Review our agent docs/skills/tools
  • After upgrading to Claude 5-generation models

Example prompts

  • “s Claude 5 context-engineering guidance (”
  • “: Anthropic cut ~80% of Claude Code”
  • “unknown knowns”
  • “/agent-context-audit”

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Inventory the context surface
  2. Audit each artifact against the rubric
  3. Probe for unknowns (the gaps docs don't show)
  4. Report
  5. Apply (with approval)

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 917780c. 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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • git

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    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

Agent Context Audit loads about 2.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 154 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,116 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~154
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.2k

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.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,116 words (~2,170 tokens).

“Goal: find where this repo's context (CLAUDE.md, docs, skills, tool designs) hobbles a Claude 5-generation model — overconstrains it, contradicts itself, repeats itself, or hides context the model actually needs — and leave behind a findings report plus approved fixes.”
