Monitors session context and automatically manages model switching based on a cascading protocol. Use as part of a heartbeat or cron job to maintain session health and optimize token usage.

Hand the extracted package to your coding agent with a concrete install brief instead of figuring it out manually.
I downloaded a skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder and install it by following the included instructions. Tell me what you changed and call out any manual steps you could not complete.
I downloaded an updated skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder, compare it with my current installation, and upgrade it while preserving any custom configuration unless the package docs explicitly say otherwise. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run.
This skill provides a script to automate the "Cascading Model Protocol," ensuring the agent gracefully degrades from high-cost models to high-context models as the session grows.
Opus 4.6: Use until 80% context, then switch to Opus 4.5. Opus 4.5: Use until 80% context, then switch to Gemini 2.5 Pro. Gemini Pro: Use until 80% context, then trigger a handoff. This skill operationalizes the logic defined in MEMORY.md.
This skill is designed to be run periodically, either via a cron job or as part of the main agent's HEARTBEAT.md checklist.
Execute the script: Run the check_context.ps1 script to get the current session status and determine the required action. powershell -File scripts/check_context.ps1 Evaluate the output: The script will return one of three possible string commands: SWITCH_TO:<model_id> HANDOFF_NOW STATUS_OK Take Action: Based on the output, execute the appropriate agent command. If SWITCH_TO:<model_id>, run session_status with the new model ID: session_status model=<model_id> If HANDOFF_NOW, trigger the handoff process by writing to the handoff file. This is typically done by running a specific, pre-defined prompt or script. If STATUS_OK, no action is needed.
You can replace the manual checks in your HEARTBEAT.md with a call to this skill's script. Old HEARTBEAT.md: ## Cascading Model Protocol (Check Every Heartbeat) 1. **Check Status:** Get current model and context %. 2. **Opus 4.6:** If model is `Opus 4.6` and context > 80% -> Switch to `Opus 4.5`. ... New HEARTBEAT.md using this skill: ## Context Sentinel (Check Every Heartbeat) 1. Run `powershell -File skills/context-sentinel/scripts/check_context.ps1`. 2. Evaluate the output and take action (`SWITCH_TO`, `HANDOFF_NOW`, or `STATUS_OK`). This makes the logic reusable and keeps the HEARTBEAT.md file clean and focused on execution.
