rootnode-context-budget

rootnode-context-budget is a Context window & token budget skill for AI agents, published by drayline in the rootnode-skills repository on GitHub. Skillspace rates rootnode-context-budget D (66/100) and it passed the safety scan; the rating is based on static analysis only.

Analyzes Claude Project context budget using the two-pool architecture: knowledge files (~66,500 token RAG threshold) vs. threshold-exempt overhead. Two modes: Quick Diagnostic and Full Budget Audit. Use when user says "check my context budget," "how much context am I using," "is my project too big," "optimize my token usage," "tier my files," "optimize for RAG," "improve retrieval quality," "should I keep compressing," "am I over-compressing," "should I accept RAG mode." Also trigger on context pressure symptoms: "Claude forgets my instructions," "responses getting generic," "content not found in my knowledge files." Also use when a project audit scores Knowledge Architecture ≤ 3. Do NOT use for content placement decisions (use rootnode-memory-optimization if available), full project audits (use rootnode-project-audit if available), or behavioral tuning (use rootnode-behavioral-tuning if available). Opus recommended; non-Opus models may produce less complete analysis.
