/context-status — Check Session Health

Show the current session status including context usage estimate, active plan, and preservation state.

What This Skill Shows

• Context usage estimate — Approximate % of context window used

• Active plan — Current plan file and status

• Session log — Most recent session log

• Preservation state — What will survive compaction

Workflow

Step 1: Check Context Monitor Cache

Read the context monitor cache to get the current estimate:

cat ~/.claude/sessions/*/context-monitor-cache.json 2>/dev/null | head -20

Step 2: Find Active Plan

ls -lt quality_reports/plans/*.md 2>/dev/null | head -3

Step 3: Find Session Log

ls -lt quality_reports/session_logs/*.md 2>/dev/null | head -1

Step 4: Report Status

Format the output:

📊 Session Status ───────────────────────────────── Context Usage: ~XX% (estimated) Auto-compact: [approaching | not imminent]

📋 Active Plan File: quality_reports/plans/YYYY-MM-DD_description.md Status: [draft | approved | in_progress | completed] Task: [current unchecked task or "none"]

📝 Session Log File: quality_reports/session_logs/YYYY-MM-DD_description.md

✓ Preservation Check • Pre-compact hook: [configured | missing] • Post-compact restore: [configured | missing] • Session state will be saved before compaction

Notes

• Context % is an estimate based on tool call count

• Actual compaction is triggered by Claude Code automatically

• All important state is saved to disk (plans, logs, MEMORY.md)
