auditing-context-window-pressure

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you diagnose and reduce context-window pressure in long Claude Code sessions, where slow responses, rising token costs, and cache misses can accumulate unnoticed.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Session pressure audit: Estimates how full the 200k context window is and whether token-efficient mode is needed.
• Cache drift diagnosis: Checks prompt-cache hit rate and flags likely causes such as mid-session CLAUDE.md edits or dynamic content leaking into cached prompts.
• Triage planning: Recommends the cheapest effective fix first, including moving large tool results to files, re-dispatching subagents with summary-only outputs, using /compact, or using /clear as a last resort.
• Use case: A multi-turn coding or analysis session starts feeling sluggish, and you want a disciplined plan to reclaim performance without throwing away useful context.

Quick Start

Ask Claude to audit your current session for context-window pressure and tell you the first three steps to reduce bloat.
