Install
Works with every agent the skills CLI supports.
npx skills add https://github.com/mksglu/context-mode --skill grill-with-docs- 01
Install
Run the command in your project. The CLI asks which agents to install for.
- 02
Describe the task
Ask your agent for something this skill covers. It loads grill-with-docs automatically when relevant.
- 03
Review the result
The agent follows the SKILL.md steps, scripts and references bundled with the skill.
SKILL.md
The instructions your agent reads when the skill is triggered.
Interview me relentlessly about every aspect of this plan until we reach a shared understanding. Walk down each branch of the design tree, resolving dependencies between decisions one-by-one. For each question, provide your recommended answer.
Ask the questions one at a time, waiting for feedback on each question before continuing.
If a question can be answered by exploring the codebase, explore the codebase instead.
</what-to-do> <supporting-info>Domain awareness
During codebase exploration, also look for existing documentation:
File structure
Most repos have a single context:
/
├── CONTEXT.md
├── docs/
│ └── adr/
│ ├── 0001-event-sourced-orders.md
│ └── 0002-postgres-for-write-model.md
└── src/
If a CONTEXT-MAP.md exists at the root, the repo has multiple contexts. The map points to where each one lives:
/
├── CONTEXT-MAP.md
├── docs/
│ └── adr/ ← system-wide decisions
├── src/
│ ├── ordering/
│ │ ├── CONTEXT.md
│ │ └── docs/adr/ ← context-specific decisions
│ └── billing/
│ ├── CONTEXT.md
│ └── docs/adr/
Create files lazily — only when you have something to write. If no CONTEXT.md exists, create one when the first term is resolved. If no docs/adr/ exists, create it when the first ADR is needed.
During the session
Challenge against the glossary
When the user uses a term that conflicts with the existing language in CONTEXT.md, call it out immediately. "Your glossary defines 'cancellation' as X, but you seem to mean Y — which is it?"
Sharpen fuzzy language
When the user uses vague or overloaded terms, propose a precise canonical term. "You're saying 'account' — do you mean the Customer or the User? Those are different things."
Discuss concrete scenarios
When domain relationships are being discussed, stress-test them with specific scenarios. Invent scenarios that probe edge cases and force the user to be precise about the boundaries between concepts.
Cross-reference with code
When the user states how something works, check whether the code agrees. If you find a contradiction, surface it: "Your code cancels entire Orders, but you just said partial cancellation is possible — which is right?"
Update CONTEXT.md inline
When a term is resolved, update CONTEXT.md right there. Don't batch these up — capture them as they happen. Use the format in CONTEXT-FORMAT.md.
Don't couple CONTEXT.md to implementation details. Only include terms that are meaningful to domain experts.
Offer ADRs sparingly
Only offer to create an ADR when all three are true:
- Hard to reverse — the cost of changing your mind later is meaningful
- Surprising without context — a future reader will wonder "why did they do it this way?"
- The result of a real trade-off — there were genuine alternatives and you picked one for specific reasons
If any of the three is missing, skip the ADR. Use the format in ADR-FORMAT.md.

ctx-stats
mksglu/context-mode
Show how much context window context-mode saved this session. Displays token consumption, context savings ratio, and per-tool breakdown. Read-only — shows stats only, no reset capability. To wipe the knowledge base entirely, use ctxpurge instead. Trigger: /context-mode:ctx-stats

mksglu/context-mode
Manage context-mode GitHub issues, PRs, releases, and marketing with parallel subagent army. Orchestrates 10-20 dynamic agents per task. Use when triaging issues, reviewing PRs, releasing versions, writing LinkedIn posts, announcing releases, fixing bugs, merging contributions, validating ENV vars, testing adapters, or syncing branches.
ctx-doctor
mksglu/context-mode
Run context-mode diagnostics. Checks runtimes, hooks, FTS5, plugin registration, npm and marketplace versions. Trigger: /context-mode:ctx-doctor

Update context-mode from GitHub and fix hooks/settings. Pulls latest, builds, installs, updates npm global, configures hooks. Trigger: /context-mode:ctx-upgrade
ctx-purge
mksglu/context-mode
Purge the context-mode knowledge base. Permanently deletes all indexed content and resets session stats. This is destructive and cannot be undone. Trigger: /context-mode:ctx-purge
