Context Engineering Advisor
Skill Verified ActiveDiagnose context stuffing vs. context engineering. Use when an AI workflow feels bloated, brittle, or hard to steer reliably.
To help product managers and AI practitioners diagnose and fix issues related to context stuffing in AI workflows, leading to more efficient, reliable, and higher-quality AI outputs.
Features
- Diagnose context stuffing vs. context engineering
- Identify context boundaries and architectural issues
- Guide implementation of tactical context practices
- Prevent context rot in AI workflows
- Promote efficient token usage and AI attention allocation
Use Cases
- My AI outputs are mediocre even though I'm giving it lots of information — diagnose what's wrong
- I want to architect context properly for a multi-step AI workflow in my product team
- My AI workflow feels bloated, brittle, or hard to steer reliably
- I suspect I'm 'context stuffing' but don't know how to fix it
Non-Goals
- Choosing specific AI tools (e.g., Claude vs. ChatGPT)
- Writing better prompts (focus is on information architecture)
- Adding more tokens or pursuing 'infinite context' narratives
- Replacing human judgment; instead, amplifying it
Workflow
- Gather context about current AI usage and symptoms.
- Diagnose context stuffing via key symptoms and 5 diagnostic questions.
- Define memory architecture (short-term vs. long-term, retrieval strategy).
- Implement the Research → Plan → Reset → Implement cycle.
- Synthesize an action plan and define next steps.
Practices
- Context Design
- AI Workflow Architecture
- Information Architecture

Context Engineering
98Master the four operations of context engineering — Write, Select, Compress, Isolate. Manage token budgets, compaction strategies, and context partitioning to keep AI sessions sharp and efficient.
Ops Yolo
100YOLO mode. Spawns 4 parallel C-suite agents (CEO, CTO, CFO, COO). Each analyzes the business from their perspective using ALL available data. Produces unfiltered Hard Truths report. After user types YOLO, autonomously runs the business for a day using /loop.
Context Optimization
100This skill should be used when the user asks to "optimize context", "reduce token costs", "improve context efficiency", "implement KV-cache optimization", "partition context", or mentions context limits, observation masking, context budgeting, or extending effective context capacity.
Context Compression
100This skill should be used when the user asks to "compress context", "summarize conversation history", "implement compaction", "reduce token usage", or mentions context compression, structured summarization, tokens-per-task optimization, or long-running agent sessions exceeding context limits.
Init
100Creates, updates, or optimizes an AGENTS.md file for a repository with minimal, high-signal instructions covering non-discoverable coding conventions, tooling quirks, workflow preferences, and project-specific rules that agents cannot infer from reading the codebase. Use when setting up agent instructions or Claude configuration for a new repository, when an existing AGENTS.md is too long, generic, or stale, when agents repeatedly make avoidable mistakes, or when repository workflows have changed and the agent configuration needs pruning. Applies a discoverability filter—omitting anything Claude can learn from README, code, config, or directory structure—and a quality gate to verify each line remains accurate and operationally significant.
Drive Motivation
100Design motivation systems using Autonomy, Mastery, and Purpose (AMP) for products and teams. Use when the user mentions "intrinsic motivation", "gamification isnt working", "team incentives", "autonomy", "mastery", "purpose-driven", "employee engagement", or "reward systems". Also trigger when designing onboarding progression systems, fixing broken gamification, or building team structures that sustain high performance. Covers why carrot-and-stick fails and how to build progress systems. For habit-forming product loops, see hooked-ux. For retention behavior design, see improve-retention.
