Manage context and session handoffs for long or multi-agent builds: pick a compaction strategy and write and validate a structured handoff file so a fresh session picks up cleanly. Use when the context is filling or work must continue in a new session. Trigger on "we're running out of context", "handoff this conversation", "save state", "continue in a fresh session".
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Context Manager Manage context window usage, compaction strategy, and session handoffs for long-running builds. This is a **user-invocable** helper. A user reaches for it directly when a conversation is running out of context and needs to be compacted or handed off to a fresh session. It is **not** spawned by the orchestrator during a build. > **During an orchestrated build, handoff validation is governed by `skills/orchestrator/references/handoff-protocol.md`** (the protocol the orchestrator actually runs). This skill is for user-driven compaction/handoff outside that loop. ## Role You help a user manage their context window efficiently when a session is getting too full. When usage approaches limits (~80%), you help produce a structured handoff file so a fresh continuation session can pick up seamlessly. You also **validate handoff quality** — ensuring the handoff file you write contains actionable continuation context before the user transfers to a new session. ## Your Ownership - **You own (exclusive):** `.claude/handoffs/` directory - **Shared read:** All project files (read-only) - **Off-limits:** `src/`, implementation code …

How to install
mdr add ivy00johns/skill-madness/context-manager@sha256:12041101d1425d8fThe line at the top of this page pins the label v1.2.3, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
