This skill should be used for improving context efficiency: context budgeting, observation masking, prefix or KV-cache strategy, partitioning, token-cost reduction, retrieval scoping, and extending effective context capacity without lowering answer quality.
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 Optimization Techniques Context optimization extends the effective capacity of limited context windows through strategic compression, masking, caching, and partitioning. Effective optimization increases useful capacity without requiring larger models or longer windows — but only when applied with measurement discipline. The techniques below are ordered by impact and risk. ## When to Activate Activate this skill when: - Context budgets or token costs constrain task complexity - Observation masking can replace verbose tool outputs with retrievable references - Prefix or KV-cache hit rate needs improvement - Retrieval scoping can reduce irrelevant loaded context - Context partitioning can extend effective capacity across agents - Budget triggers are needed for masking, compaction, or partitioning Do not activate this skill for adjacent work owned by other skills: - Explaining why attention or context windows behave this way: `context-fundamentals`. - Diagnosing active lost-in-middle, poisoning, distraction, confusion, or clash: `context-degradation`. - Designing a structured handoff summary for a long conversation: `context-compression`. …

How to install
mdr add docxology/template/context-optimization@sha256:8cecc30872ec7675The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260713.397aa15, 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.
