Manages context overflow by handing off to a fresh subagent at 80% usage. Use when context pressure is critical and work must continue uninterrupted.

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

# Clear Context Skill

## Quick Start

When context pressure reaches critical levels (80%+), invoke this skill to:
1. Save current session state
2. Delegate continuation to a fresh subagent
3. Continue work without manual intervention

```
Skill(conserve:clear-context)
```

## When To Use

- **Proactively**: Before starting large multi-chained tasks
- **Reactively**: When context warning indicates 80%+ usage
- **Automatically**: Integrated into long-running workflows

## When NOT To Use

- Context usage is under 50% - continue working normally
- Mid-critical-operation where handoff would lose state
- **Consider "Summarize from here" first** (Claude Code 2.1.32+): Before full auto-clear,
  try partial summarization via the message selector. This compresses older context while
  preserving recent work, often sufficient to relieve pressure without a full handoff.

## The Auto-Clear Pattern

Since `/clear` requires user action, we achieve automatic context clearing without interruption through **subagent delegation**:

```
Main Agent (high context)
    ↓
    Saves state to .claude/session-state.md
    ↓
    Spawns continuation subagent (fresh context)
    ↓

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add athola/claude-night-market/clear-context@sha256:a59705841213d14b

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261005.b92fa54, 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.
