/context-status — Check Session Health

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

What This Skill Shows

1. Context usage estimate — Approximate % of context window used
2. Active plan — Current plan file and status
3. Session log — Most recent session log
4. 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)
