What it does

Entroly Context Control is an agent skill from juyterman1000/entroly. Surgically select, compress, and recover codebase context using Entroly's MCP tools. Slashes token usage by up to 95% with Merkle-exact recovery receipts and WITNESS verification.

Its SKILL.md is about 500 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 LLM cost and token optimization, Context engineering and Codebase knowledge for agents. It works with Model Context Protocol. The repository describes itself as: Cut AI context cost without trusting the compressor. Every reduction is reversible, byte-exact recoverable, and carries an auditable receipt. Local-first, works through proxy… The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve LLM cost and token optimization
  • Tasks that involve Context engineering
  • Tasks that involve Codebase knowledge for agents

Example prompts

  • “/entroly-context-control”

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Token-Budgeted Codebase Selection (optimize_context)
  2. Semantic Code Recall (recall)
  3. Reversible Output Compression (compress & recover)
  4. Codebase Health & Architecture Diagnostics (health)
  5. Grounding & Hallucination Verification (witness_verify)

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 25248bb. 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

Entroly Context Control loads about 501 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 51 tokens; SKILL.md has 218 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~51
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~501

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.

Entroly Context Intelligence Skill

Use this skill to optimize context, query the codebase with token budgets, compress bulky tool outputs, and recover omitted code byte-for-byte using the Entroly MCP server.

Core Workflows

1. Token-Budgeted Codebase Selection (optimize_context)

When answering a complex question or preparing a refactor across multiple files:

  • Call optimize_context with your natural language query and a token budget (e.g., budget=4000 or budget=8000).
  • Entroly executes a knapsack optimization algorithm that ranks AST fragments by relevance, entropy, and dependency relations.
  • Returns surgical code fragments, line numbers, and a cryptographic Merkle receipt.
2. Semantic Code Recall (recall)

When searching for specific symbols, implementations, or interfaces:

  • Call recall(query="...") with top_k=5 or top_k=10.
  • Returns ranked pointers with filenames, line numbers, and snippet digests.
3. Reversible Output Compression (compress & recover)

When dealing with large terminal dumps (build traces, test logs):

  • Call compress(data=..., budget=...) to distill down critical errors and signals while stripping noise.
  • Every compression produces a content-addressed SHA-256 handle.
  • To restore the original uncompressed text at any time, call recover(handle="...").
4. Codebase Health & Architecture Diagnostics (health)

To assess codebase quality before or after major changes:

  • Call health() to inspect clone pairs, dead symbols, god files, and architecture violations.
5. Grounding & Hallucination Verification (witness_verify)

To verify an agent claim or proposed code against source evidence:

  • Call witness_verify(claim=..., evidence=...) for local NLI-backed verification.
