/context-status — Check Session Health

SkillAI & models

Show current context status and session health. Use to check how much context has been used, whether auto-compact is approaching, and what state will be preserved.

Available today. Use it from your connected AI after setup.

Connect ahel once, and every AI you use reads what you have installed.

Then ask your AI: use the /context-status — Check Session Health skill

What this skill tells your AI

The instructions your AI receives, as published by pedrohcgs/claude-code-my-workflow in .claude/skills/context-status/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.

Show the current session status including context usage estimate, active plan, and preservation state.

What This Skill Shows

  1. Context usage estimate — Approximate % of context window used
  2. Active plan — Current plan file and status
  3. Session log — Most recent session log
  4. Preservation state — What will survive compaction

Workflow

Step 1: Check Context Monitor Cache

Read the context monitor cache to get the current estimate:

cat ~/.claude/sessions/*/context-monitor-cache.json 2>/dev/null | head -20

Step 2: Find Active Plan

ls -lt quality_reports/plans/*.md 2>/dev/null | head -3

Step 3: Find Session Log

ls -lt quality_reports/session_logs/*.md 2>/dev/null | head -1

Step 4: Report Status

Format the output:

📊 Session Status
─────────────────────────────────
Context Usage:  ~XX% (estimated)
Auto-compact:   [approaching | not imminent]

📋 Active Plan
File:   quality_reports/plans/YYYY-MM-DD_description.md
Status: [draft | approved | in_progress | completed]
Task:   [current unchecked task or "none"]

📝 Session Log
File:   quality_reports/session_logs/YYYY-MM-DD_description.md

✓ Preservation Check
  • Pre-compact hook: [configured | missing]
  • Post-compact restore: [configured | missing]
  • Session state will be saved before compaction

Notes

  • Context % is an estimate based on tool call count
  • Actual compaction is triggered by Claude Code automatically
  • All important state is saved to disk (plans, logs, MEMORY.md)
