What it does
Composing Context is an agent skill from friday-platform/friday-studio. Internal pattern guide for composing turn-local retrieval-gated context into a synthetic user-message preface. Documents the composePreface helper in @atlas/core/agent-context/compose-preface. Loaded by infrastructure code that assembles per-turn LLM input — not user-invocable.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.6k 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 AI & LLM Engineering, covering Codebase knowledge for agents. The repository describes itself as: Agent Harness Platform — shareable workspaces, MCP tools, skills, memory, and cron/webhook automations. Self-hosted and transparent.
When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve Codebase knowledge for agents
Example prompts
- “/composing-context”
Workflow steps
3 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- Pre-load: chat supervisor builds Block 4 from current state
- FSM type: llm action: same shape, prepended to action prompt
- On-demand mid-turn retrieval (forward-looking)
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit fb3069a. 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
Composing Context loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 75 tokens; SKILL.md has 668 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 668 words (~1,568 tokens).
“This skill documents the synthetic user-message preface pattern used by Friday's chat supervisor and FSM type: llm actions to surface turn-local retrieved content (artifacts, narrative memory, temporal facts, future on-demand retrieval) to the model.”
