What it does
Context Engineering is an agent skill from Habitat-Thinking/ai-literacy-superpowers. This skill should be used when the user asks about "writing conventions", "codebase context", "HARNESS.md context section", "convention documentation", "how to write enforceable rules", or needs guidance on the Context section of HARNESS.md.
Its SKILL.md is about 1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/convention-patterns.md`).
It sits in Agent Workflows, covering Context engineering and Codebase knowledge for agents. The repository describes itself as: A set of Claude Code and GitHub Copilot plugins providing the AI Literacy framework's complete development workflow — harness engineering, agent orchestration, literate….
When your agent uses it
- Asks about writing conventions
- Codebase context
- HARNESS.md context section
- Convention documentation
Example prompts
- “writing conventions”
- “codebase context”
- “HARNESS.md context section”
- “/context-engineering”
Workflow steps
3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- New team members read it to understand the project's stack and
- LLM agents read it as structured input when reviewing code or
- The plugin reads it to understand what tools might be appropriate
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9d35995. 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
Context Engineering loads about 1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~2k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 65 tokens; SKILL.md has 507 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 507 words (~1,049 tokens).
“Context engineering is the practice of curating the knowledge an LLM needs to work effectively in a codebase. Good context makes the difference between an LLM that follows project conventions and one that generates plausible but inconsistent code.”

When should I use Context Engineering?
Context Engineering fits situations like: asks about writing conventions; codebase context; HARNESS.md context section; convention documentation.
How do I install Context Engineering in Claude Code?
Run `npx skills add Habitat-Thinking/ai-literacy-superpowers --skill context-engineering -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (ai-literacy-superpowers/skills/context-engineering in Habitat-Thinking/ai-literacy-superpowers) into .claude/skills/context-engineering in your project.

To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/context-engineering, .gemini/skills/context-engineering, .github/skills/context-engineering and .opencode/skills/context-engineering in your project.
What does Context Engineering need to run?
SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Context Engineering is instructions for the agent only.
Does Context Engineering 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.
