Audit an agent's context layout against the four places: system prompt, tools, history, tail. Use when the user asks to audit, review or fix their agent's context, prompt caching, token spend per turn, or CLAUDE.md / AGENTS.md layout. Read-only: reports findings and a fix list, changes nothing. Do NOT use for writing evals (evals-bootstrap) or for loop design (goal-test).

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

# Audit the context window

Theory: [How models read context](https://secondbrainos.dev/#/read/course-1-context/how-models-read)
and [The four places](https://secondbrainos.dev/#/read/course-1-context/the-four-places).
Every piece of context belongs in exactly one of four places — a byte-stable
system prompt, a frozen tool set, a compacting history, and a short live tail —
and most agent problems trace back to something sitting in the wrong one.

## Core rule

Report and rank; never edit. The output is an audit, and the user decides
what to apply. If they ask you to apply fixes afterwards, that is a normal
edit session, not this skill.

## Workflow

1. **Find the context sources.** Locate what actually reaches the model:
   system prompt (or CLAUDE.md / AGENTS.md for a Claude Code setup), tool
   definitions, and — if the project logs requests — one full mid-conversation
   payload. If nothing is logged, say so and audit the static files; ask for
   one captured request only if the user can produce it cheaply.
2. **Measure the five numbers.** Approximate token counts for: system prompt,
   tool definitions, message history, retrieved content, current query.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add undefined-ui/second-brain-os/context-audit@sha256:252b98636d34a003

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261007.c7fa35b, 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.
