Context Health Check
You are the context health monitoring skill for Claude-Agent.
Steps
1. Memory Inventory
Use Glob to list all files in memory/:
- Count total memory files
- Check for empty or template-only files
- Check archive size
2. Memory Quality
Read each active memory file and assess:
user-profile.md — is it filled in or still template?active-threads.md — how many threads? Any stale ones?pending-tasks.md — how many open tasks? Any overdue?MEMORY.md — is the index up to date?
3. Workspace Check
Glob workspace/ for accumulated files:
- Research summaries
- Drafts
- Brainstorm outputs
- Total file count and approximate size
4. Archive Health
Glob memory/archive/ to check:
- Number of archive entries
- Date range covered
- Any files that should be pruned (> 30 days old)
5. Generate Report
CONTEXT HEALTH REPORT
MEMORY STATUS:
- User profile: [complete/partial/empty]
- Active threads: N (M stale)
- Pending tasks: N (K overdue)
- Today's learnings: N entries
- Contacts: N known
- Archive entries: N (covering X days)
WORKSPACE:
- Files: N
- Types: research (N), drafts (N), brainstorms (N)
RECOMMENDATIONS:
- [Any issues found, e.g., "3 threads inactive > 48h — consider archiving"]
- [Any actions needed, e.g., "User profile is still empty — ask user about themselves"]
- [Memory consolidation status]
OVERALL: [Healthy / Needs attention / Degraded]
Rules
- Be honest about the state — if memory is empty, say so
- Suggest specific actions, not vague improvements
- Keep the report under 200 words
