context-fundamentals
context-fundamentals is a Context window & token budget skill for AI agents, published by muratcankoylan in the Agent-Skills-for-Context-Engineering repository on GitHub. Skillspace rates context-fundamentals C (70/100) and it passed the safety scan; a judge model has also reviewed it.
This skill should be used to explain or reason about the foundational concepts of context engineering: what context is, the anatomy of a context window, how attention mechanics work, the U-shaped attention curve, why context quality matters more than quantity, and the mental models needed to interpret every other context-engineering decision. Use this for conceptual explanation, onboarding, and background reading. Route operational work to the specialized skills: debugging attention failures goes to context-degradation, token-efficiency work goes to context-optimization, conversation summarization goes to context-compression, and project-shape decisions go to project-development.

A clean conceptual anchor that explicitly routes operational work to sibling skills and grounds its claims in a traceable citation scheme rather than folklore.
