About this skill
Context Mode Search is a skill in mksglu/context-mode (26k stars). Its SKILL.md is about 250 tokens. Licence: Custom licence.
Workflow steps
6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Prefer the ctx_search MCP tool when it is available.
- Batch all related questions in one queries array.
- Scope with source when the user names a project or indexed label.
- Use short, specific queries of two to four technical terms.
- If MCP tools are unavailable, fall back to the CLI
- If the index is empty, tell the user to run /context-mode:ctx-index or context-mode index first.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 0dfbe8d. 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 javascript and bash).
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 Mode Search loads about 250 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 44 tokens; SKILL.md has 85 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 85 words (~250 tokens).
“Search indexed content without rereading raw sources into conversation context.”
- name
- ctx-search

Questions about Context Mode Search
How do I install Context Mode Search in Claude Code?
Run `npx skills add mksglu/context-mode --skill ctx-search -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/ctx-search in mksglu/context-mode) into .claude/skills/ctx-search in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
How do I install Context Mode Search in Codex?
Run `npx skills add mksglu/context-mode --skill ctx-search -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/ctx-search in mksglu/context-mode) into .agents/skills/ctx-search in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Can I use Context Mode Search 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 mksglu/context-mode --skill ctx-search -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/ctx-search, .gemini/skills/ctx-search, .github/skills/ctx-search and .opencode/skills/ctx-search in your project.
What does Context Mode Search need to run?
SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Context Mode Search is instructions for the agent only.
Does Context Mode Search 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 Mode Search safe to install?
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
What licence does Context Mode Search use?
Context Mode Search 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 Mode Search use?
About 250 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 1k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
What are the alternatives to Context Mode Search?
Skills that share tags, products or a category with Context Mode Search: Lemmalog (JordyZomer/lemmalog, 329 stars), Cortex Mem MCP (sopaco/cortex-mem, 313 stars), Basic Memory Setup (basicmachines-co/basic-memory, 4.1k stars) and MemPalace Memory Search (MemPalace/mempalace, 59k stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.
