What it does
Ctx Start is an agent skill from dchu917/ctx. Create a new ContextFun workstream and its first session, then print a markdown pack.
Its SKILL.md is about 270 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including scripts (for example `scripts/skills/ctx_start.sh`).
It sits in Documents & Office, covering Markdown. The repository describes itself as: Local context manager for Claude Code and Codex with workstreams, transcript binding, and branching. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve Markdown
Example prompts
- “/ctx-start”
Requirements
- Python 3
- A Bash shell
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit bdb602c. 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
Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Shell), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
bashpython3
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
Ctx Start loads about 272 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 24 tokens; SKILL.md has 117 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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

How to trigger
- In Codex:
ctx-start <workstream>ctx-start --pull <workstream>(also ingests current chat)--pullcan appear before or after the workstream name

bash ./scripts/skills/ctx_start.sh --pull my-workstreamctx-start my-workstreampython3 scripts/ctx_cmd.py start my-workstream --format markdown
Requirements

name (1),name (2), and so on. - Use
ctx resume <workstream>to continue an existing workstream. - Python 3.9+
- Local transcripts in
~/.codex/sessionsor~/.claude/projects(override viaCODEX_HOME/CLAUDE_HOME). - ContextFun DB (local or global). Use
scripts/quickstart.shto initialize.
