Individual skill
context-audit
Audit an agent's context layout against the four places: system prompt, tools, history, tail. Use when the user asks to audit, review or fix their agent's context, prompt caching, token spend per turn, or CLAUDE.md / AGENTS.md layout. Read-only: reports findings and a fix list, changes nothing. Do NOT use for writing evals (evals-bootstrap) or for loop design (goal-test).

# Audit the context window
Theory: [How models read context](https://secondbrainos.dev/#/read/course-1-context/how-models-read)
and [The four places](https://secondbrainos.dev/#/read/course-1-context/the-four-places).
Every piece of context belongs in exactly one of four places — a byte-stable
system prompt, a frozen tool set, a compacting history, and a short live tail —
and most agent problems trace back to something sitting in the wrong one.
## Core rule
Report and rank; never edit. The output is an audit, and the user decides
what to apply. If they ask you to apply fixes afterwards, that is a normal
edit session, not this skill.
