What it does
Context Propagation is an agent skill from dxos/dxos. Rules for passing ctx: Context as the first parameter to internal methods so that @trace.span() produces connected trace hierarchies. Use when adding context propagation, reviewing ctx usage, fixing broken traces, or when code uses @trace.span(), Context, or this.ctx.
Its SKILL.md is about 4.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `AUDIT.md`).
The repository describes itself as: TypeScript implementation of the DXOS protocols, SDK, toolchain and Composer.
When your agent uses it
- Adding context propagation
- Reviewing ctx usage
- Fixing broken traces
- Code uses @trace.span()
Example prompts
- “Use the context-propagation skill to rule for passing ctx: Context as the first parameter to internal methods so that @trace.span() produces…”
- “/context-propagation”
Workflow steps
6 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- Direct calls: forward the caller's ctx
- Event subscriptions and callbacks: use lifecycle ctx
- Detached async work: use class lifecycle ctx
- Parallel fan-out: share the parent ctx
- Reassign ctx to the return value of trace.spanStart()
- Complete call chain: every method between entry point and @trace.span must forward ctx
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 085dcb1. 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 (its code samples are typescript).
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 Propagation loads about 4.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 72 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,413 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.
SKILL.md
Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,413 words (~4,265 tokens).
“Every internal method takes ctx: Context as its first parameter (Go-style). The @trace.span() decorator detects ctx as args[0], uses it as the parent span, and replaces it with a child context before calling the method body. This enables hierarchical OTEL…”

Questions about Context Propagation
What does Context Propagation do?
Rules for passing ctx: Context as the first parameter to internal methods so that @trace.span() produces connected trace hierarchies. Context Propagation is an agent skill from dxos/dxos.span() produces connected trace hierarchies.
When should I use Context Propagation?
Context Propagation fits situations like: adding context propagation; reviewing ctx usage; fixing broken traces; code uses @trace.span().
How do I install Context Propagation in Claude Code?
Run `npx skills add dxos/dxos --skill context-propagation -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (.agents/skills/context-propagation in dxos/dxos) into .claude/skills/context-propagation in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
How do I install Context Propagation in Codex?
Run `npx skills add dxos/dxos --skill context-propagation -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (.agents/skills/context-propagation in dxos/dxos) into .agents/skills/context-propagation in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Can I use Context Propagation in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add dxos/dxos --skill context-propagation -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/context-propagation, .gemini/skills/context-propagation, .github/skills/context-propagation and .opencode/skills/context-propagation in your project.
What does Context Propagation need to run?
SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Context Propagation is instructions for the agent only.
Does Context Propagation access the network?
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Is Context Propagation safe to install?

Context Propagation has a licence file (the repository's licence) that doesn't match a standard licence. Read it on GitHub before reusing the skill.
How many tokens does Context Propagation use?
About 4.3k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 17k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
