skill-context-detection from nyldn/claude-octopus is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add nyldn/claude-octopus/skill-context-detection@git:20260813.14437aePins git:20260813.14437ae in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Auto-detect work context (Dev vs Knowledge) — use to tailor workflows based on current task type.
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
> **Host: Codex CLI** — This skill was designed for Claude Code and adapted for Codex.
> Cross-reference commands use installed skill names in Codex rather than `/octo:*` slash commands.
> Use the active Codex shell and subagent tools. Do not claim a provider, model, or host subagent is available until the current session exposes it.
> For host tool equivalents, see `skills/blocks/codex-host-adapter.md`.
# Context Detection - Internal Skill
## Purpose
This skill provides **automatic context detection** to determine whether the user is working in a **Development context** (code-focused) or **Knowledge context** (research/strategy-focused). This replaces the manual `/octo:km` toggle with intelligent auto-detection.
## Detection Algorithm
When a workflow skill activates, detect context using these signals:
### Step 1: Check for Explicit Override
If user has explicitly set mode via `/octo:km on` or `/octo:km off`, respect that setting.
```bash
# Check if knowledge mode is explicitly set
if [[ -f ~/.claude-octopus/config/knowledge-mode ]]; then
EXPLICIT_MODE=$(cat ~/.claude-octopus/config/knowledge-mode)
if [[ "$EXPLICIT_MODE" == "on" ]]; then
echo "knowledge"

How to install
mdr add nyldn/claude-octopus/skill-context-detection@sha256:dee22787049a1e5dThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260813.14437ae, 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.
