Use when designing, reviewing, or debugging how an agent's context window gets filled, pruned, or shared — choosing what loads at boot versus on demand, sizing an install or an always-loaded file, fixing an agent that drifts, repeats itself, or forgets constraints mid-task, planning compaction or summarization, deciding single-agent versus subagents, engineering handoffs between agents, or picking a tool loadout. NOT for rewording a prompt's tone, choosing which model to pin, or debugging busin…

Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

What this skill can do

We found nothing in the files we read that matches our rules. That does not prove the skill is safe: see the limits of static scanning.

Install

Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'context-engineering' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'context-engineering' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named context-engineering already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/mvschwarz/openrig' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet 'd9292d5b0464c242a4c8d8da4bda7c42bce0b564' -- 'packages/daemon/specs/agents/shared/skills/process/context-engineering' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'packages/daemon/specs/agents/shared/skills/process/context-engineering' ~/.agents/skills/'context-engineering' && rm -rf "$d"; fi

Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'context-engineering' ~/.claude/skills/'context-engineering' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
