What it does
Ax Agent Context is an agent skill from dosco/aithy. This skill helps an LLM pick the right AxAgent context tool for a job - contextMap for recurring corpora, contextPolicy presets for within-run trajectory compaction, agent.optimize for offline GEPA instruction/demo tuning, agent.playbook for an evolving context playbook (offline evolve + online update), and recall/memories + skills for per-turn retrieval. Use when the user asks "which context feature should I use", confuses contextMap with contextPolicy or memory, or wants a decision guide for long-context…
Its SKILL.md is about 900 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, Project scaffolding and Agent memory. The repository describes itself as: A personal AI agent that can work safely on your machine, remember useful context, and keep its data under your control. The licence is Apache-2.0.
When your agent uses it
- The user asks which context feature should I use
- Confuses contextMap with contextPolicy
- Wants a decision guide for long-context agents
Example prompts
- “which context feature should I use”
- “/ax-agent-context”
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 0c9855f. 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
Ax Agent Context loads about 903 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 174 tokens; SKILL.md has 363 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.

- This skill helps an LLM pick the right AxAgent context tool for a job - contextMap for recurring corpora, contextPolicy presets for within-run trajectory compaction, agent.optimize for offline GEPA instruction/demo tuning, agent.playbook for an evolving context playbook (offline evolve + online update), and recall/memories + skills for per-turn retrieval. Use when the user asks "which context feature should I use", confuses contextMap with contextPolicy or memory, or wants a decision guide for long-context agents. For contextPolicy/contextMap codegen use ax-agent-rlm; for recall/skills use ax-agent-memory-skills; for agent.optimize or agent.playbook use ax-agent-optimize.

AxAgent Context Selection (@ax-llm/ax)
Use this skill to route a context-management need to the right AxAgent tool, then open the matching codegen skill. AxAgent manages four distinct context objects; choosing the wrong one is the usual mistake. Do not write tutorial prose; pick the tool and hand off.
Pick The Right Context Tool
| Need | Object | Scope | Use | Next skill |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Many tasks over the same large corpus (repo, doc set, dataset) | Context map | recurring corpus, persists across runs | contextMap | ax-agent-rlm |
| One long run whose own history must stay under control | Trajectory compaction | this run only | contextPolicy: { preset, budget } | ax-agent-rlm |
| Evolve task strategy from examples or live feedback | Context playbook | a stage, offline + online | agent.playbook(...) | ax-agent-optimize |
| Tune the prompt/instructions/demos offline | Instruction text | a program, offline | agent.optimize(...) (GEPA) | ax-agent-optimize |
| Pull task-relevant facts or guides for a turn | Retrieval | one turn | recall(...) / skills | ax-agent-memory-skills |
Defaults
- Recurring corpus + many different questions ->
contextMap(persistent orientation cache). - One long multi-turn run with prompt pressure ->
contextPolicy: { preset: 'checkpointed', budget: 'balanced' }; move toleanfor very long runs with strong models,fullfor short tasks or weak models. - Evolve a context playbook ->
agent.playbook(...)(offline from examples, or online from live feedback). - Tune instructions/demos offline ->
agent.optimize(...)(GEPA). - Fetch facts or guides on demand ->
recall(...)for memories,discover({ skills })for skill guides. - A single oversized input value (a pasted doc, a big JSON blob) -> do nothing;
autoUpgrade(ON by default) keeps it runtime-only with a prompt preview. Reach forcontextFieldsonly when you want a specific inline policy or the value is a large required non-string field. Seeax-agent-rlm.

Anti-Patterns
- Do not use
contextMapto compress a single run's history. That iscontextPolicy. - Do not use
contextPolicyto carry knowledge across runs. That iscontextMap. - Do not hand-build a strategy playbook in the prompt. Evolve it with
agent.playbook(...). - Do not stuff a whole corpus into the prompt every run. Use a context map plus on-demand
recall(...). - Do not confuse runtime skills (
discover({ skills })guides) with these installable codegen skills.
