Context Mode Output Sandbox
mksglu/context-mode
Routes large command, file, API and browser output through context-mode tools so only the needed result enters the agent's context, instead of dumping it via Bash.
Context optimization extends the effective capacity of limited context windows through strategic compression, masking, caching, and partitioning.

What it does
Context Optimization is an agent skill from aiskillstore/marketplace. Context optimization extends the effective capacity of limited context windows through strategic compression, masking, caching, and partitioning. The goal is not to magically increase context windows but to make better use of available capacity.
Its SKILL.md is about 2.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `skill-report.json`).
It sits in Agent Workflows, covering Context engineering. The repository describes itself as: Security-audited skills for Claude, Codex & Claude Code. One-click install, quality verified.
When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve Context engineering
Example prompts
- “/context-optimization”
Requirements
- Python 3
Workflow steps
8 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Measure before optimizing—know your current state
- Apply compaction before masking when possible
- Design for cache stability with consistent prompts
- Partition before context becomes problematic
- Monitor optimization effectiveness over time
- Balance token savings against quality preservation
- Test optimization at production scale
- Implement graceful degradation for edge cases
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 4ac52da. 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 python).
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 Optimization loads about 2.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 67 tokens; SKILL.md has 992 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
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 992 words (~2,181 tokens).
“Context optimization extends the effective capacity of limited context windows through strategic compression, masking, caching, and partitioning. The goal is not to magically increase context windows but to make better use of available capacity. Effective optimization can double or triple…”
