What metrics does this skill help me track?

It focuses on key indicators like token utilization (targeting 70-80%), token variance, KV-cache hit rates, and compaction targets to ensure peak model performance.

When should I use this Claude Code skill?

Activate this skill when designing complex agent architectures, debugging performance drops in long conversations, or optimizing LLM API expenses.

Does this skill include tools for evaluation?

Yes, it includes scripts for context health analysis and compression quality evaluation to ensure your optimizations don't result in information loss.

What is context engineering?

Context engineering is the practice of curating the smallest, highest-signal set of tokens for LLM tasks to maximize reasoning quality while minimizing token usage and latency.

How does this help with multi-agent systems?

It provides specific patterns for context isolation, ensuring that sub-agents only receive the specific data they need, which prevents model degradation and 'lost-in-the-middle' failures.
