How does this skill help reduce API costs?

By providing a clear breakdown of token usage and costs via the /cost command, it helps you identify when the context is unnecessarily full, allowing you to use /clear or /compact to reset and save on input tokens.

What should I do if my MCP tools are taking up too much context?

If MCP tools exceed 40% of your context window, the skill will recommend auditing your active MCP servers and disabling those not currently required for your task.

Does this skill work with Git repositories?

Yes, it automatically detects and displays your current Git branch and repository status as part of the session data report.

When should I follow the recommendation to compact my context?

The skill typically suggests compacting when your context usage reaches between 50-80%. This summarizes your current conversation to free up space while keeping relevant details in Claude's memory.

Analytics & Monitoring

Monitors and analyzes Claude Code token usage, budget status, and context window health to optimize session performance.

About

The Session Context Health skill is a diagnostic utility for Claude Code that provides real-time visibility into your session's resource consumption. It aggregates data from cost and context commands to deliver a structured report on token distribution across conversation history, MCP tools, and system files. By identifying when the context window is reaching capacity, the skill offers actionable recommendations—such as compacting conversations or auditing MCP servers—ensuring Claude remains responsive and cost-effective during complex development tasks.
