About this skill
Context Mode Upgrade is a skill in mksglu/context-mode (26k stars). Its SKILL.md is about 291 tokens. Licence: Custom licence.
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Call the ctx_upgrade MCP tool directly. It returns a shell command to execute.
- Run the returned command using your shell execution tool (Bash, shell_execute, etc.).
- Display results as a markdown checklist
- Tell the user to restart their session to pick up the new version.
- Fallback (only if MCP tool call fails): Derive the plugin root from this skill's base directory (go up 2 levels — remove…
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
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
node
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 Upgrade loads about 291 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 43 tokens; SKILL.md has 97 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 97 words (~291 tokens).
“Pull latest from GitHub and reinstall the plugin.”
