assess-context SKILL.md skillA
assess-context from pjt222/agent-almanac is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add pjt222/agent-almanac/assess-context@v1.0Pins v1.0 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

AI context assessment — evaluating problem malleability, mapping structural rigidity versus flexibility, analyzing transformation pressure, and estimating capacity to adapt. Use when a complex task feels stuck and it is unclear whether to push through or pivot, before a significant approach change to assess whether the current reasoning structure can support it, when accumulated workarounds suggest the underlying approach may be wrong, or as a periodic structural health check during extended…
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
# Assess Context Evaluate the current reasoning context for malleability — identifying which elements are rigid (cannot change), which are flexible (can change cheaply), where transformation pressure is building, and whether the current approach has the capacity to adapt if needed. ## When to Use - When a complex task feels stuck and it is unclear whether to push through or pivot - Before a significant approach change to assess whether the current reasoning structure can support it - When accumulated workarounds suggest the underlying approach may be wrong - After `heal` or `awareness` has identified drift but the appropriate response (continue, adjust, or rebuild) is unclear - When context has grown long and it is unclear how much can be preserved versus how much needs to be rebuilt - Periodic structural health check during extended multi-step tasks ## Inputs - **Required**: Current task context and reasoning state (available implicitly) - **Optional**: Specific concern triggering the assessment (e.g., "I keep adding workarounds") - **Optional**: Proposed pivot direction (what might the approach need to become?) - **Optional**: Previous assessment results for trend analysis …

How to install
mdr add pjt222/agent-almanac/assess-context@sha256:8ac2a89047c436a5The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0, 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.
