Context Manager Skill

Purpose

Optimizes Claude Code's context window by interactively selecting MCP servers, Custom Agents, and Slash Commands per project and generating configuration files.

When to Use

Activate when:

1. User requests "context setup", "context management", "token optimization"
2. /context-setup command is executed
3. Starting work on a new project (auto-detect and recommend)

Workflow

Step 1: Analyze Project

Analyze project root files to detect project type.

Analysis targets:

• package.json (Node.js/JavaScript)
• requirements.txt, pyproject.toml (Python)
• go.mod (Go)
• Cargo.toml (Rust)
• pom.xml, build.gradle (Java)

Step 2: Recommend Preset

Recommend preset based on detected project type.

AskUserQuestion:

Copy"Select a context preset for your project"
Options:
- Web Development - React/Vue/Next.js (~28k saved)
- Python Web - FastAPI/Django/Flask (~30k saved)
- Go Backend - Gin/Echo/Fiber (~28k saved)
- Rust Systems - Actix/Axum (~32k saved)
- DevOps - Docker/K8s/Terraform (~25k saved)
- Data Science - ML/AI/Data (~30k saved)
- Full Stack - Web + API + DB (~20k saved)
- Minimal - Core tools only (~45k saved)
- Custom - Select manually

Step 3: Custom Configuration

If Custom is selected, choose by category.

MCP Server Selection:

CopyAskUserQuestion: "Select MCP servers to enable"
Options:
- GitHub (PR/issue management) - ~8k tokens
- Playwright (browser automation) - ~12k tokens
- Brave Search (web search) - ~3k tokens
- Select all
multiSelect: true

Agent Category Selection:

CopyAskUserQuestion: "Which agent categories do you need?"
Options:
- Frontend (React, Vue, Next.js, CSS)
- Python (FastAPI, Django, Flask, Data)
- Go/Rust (Go API, Rust Systems)
- Backend (API, DB, Security)
- DevOps (Docker, K8s, Terraform, CI/CD)
- Database (SQL, ORM, Migrations)
- Mobile (iOS, Android, Flutter)
- AI/ML (ML, DL, NLP)
multiSelect: true

Step 4: Generate Config Files

Create based on selections:

1. .claude/context-profile.json: Project context settings
2. .claude/.mcp.json: MCP server settings (selected servers only)

Step 5: Restart Instructions

MCP settings apply after session restart.

CopySetup complete!

Generated files:
- .claude/context-profile.json
- .claude/.mcp.json

Active MCP servers: github, playwright, brave-search
Active agents: react-expert, css-expert, nodejs-expert
Estimated token savings: ~28,000 tokens (14%)

Restart Claude Code to apply MCP settings.

Restart Claude Code to apply MCP settings.
To change settings, run `/context-setup`.

Current Status (/context-status)

Copy## Current Context Status

**Profile**: Web Development

[ ] filesystem (inactive)
[ ] openrouter (inactive)
[ ] context7 (inactive)

### Agents (5/55 active)
[x] react-expert, css-expert, nodejs-expert, frontend-optimizer, ui-ux-designer

### Estimated Token Savings
~28,000 tokens

Best Practices

1. Analyze first: Analyze project files before asking questions
2. Provide recommendations: Recommend appropriate preset based on analysis
3. Keep options concise: Keep AskUserQuestion options to 4 or fewer
4. Show token savings: Clearly communicate impact of each choice
5. Restart notice: Always mention restart required for MCP changes

Integration

This skill integrates with:

• SessionStart hook: Check project profile existence and notify
• /context-setup command: Activate this skill
• /context-status command: Display current status

Available Presets

Notes

• Project .claude/.mcp.json takes precedence over global settings
• Agent enable/disable is handled via system prompt instructions
• Config files can be committed to git for team sharing
