Excerpt

/context-status — Check Session Health

Show the current session status including context usage estimate, active plan, and preservation state.

What This Skill Shows

Context usage estimate — Approximate % of context window used
Active plan — Current plan file and status
Session log — Most recent session log
Preservation state — What will survive compaction

Workflow

Step 1: Check Context Monitor Cache

Read the context monitor cache to get the current estimate:

cat ~/.claude/sessions/*/context-monitor-cache.json 2>/dev/null | head -20

Step 2: Find Active Plan

ls -lt quality_reports/plans/*.md 2>/dev/null | head -3

Step 3: Find Session Log

ls -lt quality_reports/session_logs/*.md 2>/dev/null | head -1
