/context-engineering
Use when managing what an LLM sees. Covers context-window budgeting, retrieval and compaction, memory across turns, tool-result pruning, and the failure modes that come from too much context rather than too little.

Other skills on claude-skills-collection.
- /agent-instructions
Use when writing project instructions for a coding agent (CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, or equivalent). Covers what belongs in them, what does not, structure, and keeping them accurate as the project changes.
Open skill - /agent-memory
Use when an agent needs state that survives a session or a context compaction. Covers what to persist, file-based memory, structuring notes for retrieval, and preventing memory from becoming stale.
Open skill - /hooks
Use when automating agent behavior with lifecycle hooks. Covers hook events, deterministic enforcement of rules the model should not be trusted to remember, and avoiding hooks that make an agent unusable.
Open skill - /plugin-development
Use when packaging skills, commands, hooks, and MCP servers into a distributable plugin. Covers manifest structure, bundling, versioning, testing, and distribution through a marketplace.
Open skill - /skill-authoring
Use when writing a new skill for an AI agent. Covers scoping, description writing for reliable triggering, progressive disclosure, and the difference between a skill and a prompt.
Open skill - /skill-review
Use when reviewing or improving an existing agent skill. Covers triggering accuracy, content quality, redundancy with the base model, and measuring whether the skill actually changes behavior.
