/ctx-dispatch
Coordinate nontrivial work in the ctx repository when a task has independent investigation, implementation, or test lanes; compute-heavy checks; or repetitive changes suited to scripts or codemods. Use for decomposition and concurrency decisions, not simple edits or questions.

Claude auto-loads it when your prompt matches the work.Auto-invocation is when the right skill fires by itself at the right moment, driven by a FLOW.md router and a hook, instead of you invoking it by name. It is the difference between a skill being installed and a skill actually getting used.Read the full definition →

Dispatch ctx work
1. Identify the requested outcome, dependencies, and independently executable lanes. Keep simple work local. 2. Reserve subagents for bounded semantic work that benefits from isolated context. 3. Run lanes concurrently only when this reduces elapsed time without duplicate work or competing writes. Give each writer disjoint ownership; keep shared files with one owner. 4. Inspect CPU, memory, and disk pressure only before genuinely compute-heavy work, then size concurrency to the available capacity. 5. Keep scope, dependency resolution, and synthesis with one coordinator. Merge evidence from every required lane before reporting completion.
ctx is a Python CLI and library that recommends a small, relevant set of skills, agents, and MCP servers for a repository or task. It can use your organization's local/private knowledge or the shipped graph.

- /ctx-verify
Select proportional validation for changes or reviews in the ctx repository. Use before handing off material code, workflow, migration, documentation, security, packaging, or release changes; before a PR; or when asked whether a change is adequately tested. Do not use for pure
Open skill - /agents-md-protocol
Create or review an AGENTS.md file so coding agents get stable repo-local instructions: environment setup, testing, style, security boundaries, PR policy, and handoff rules. Use when a repo lacks durable agent guidance or when a custom harness needs a predictable context file.
Open skill - /cavecrew
Decision guide for delegating to caveman-style subagents. Tells the main thread WHEN to spawn `cavecrew-investigator` (locate code), `cavecrew-builder` (1-2 file edit), or `cavecrew-reviewer` (diff review) instead of doing the work inline or using vanilla `Explore`. Subagent
Open skill - /caveman-commit
Ultra-compressed commit message generator. Cuts noise from commit messages while preserving intent and reasoning. Conventional Commits format. Subject ≤50 chars, body only when "why" isn't obvious. Use when user says "write a commit", "commit message", "generate commit",
Open skill - /caveman-compress
Compress natural language memory files (CLAUDE.md, todos, preferences) into caveman format to save input tokens. Preserves all technical substance, code, URLs, and structure. Compressed version overwrites the original file. Human-readable backup saved as FILE.original.md.
Open skill - /caveman-help
Quick-reference card for all caveman modes, skills, and commands. One-shot display, not a persistent mode. Trigger: /caveman-help, "caveman help", "what caveman commands", "how do I use caveman".
