muratcankoylan/Agent-Skills-for-Context-EngineeringSkill

This skill should be used to explain or reason about the foundational concepts of context engineering: what context is, the anatomy of a context window, how attention mechanics work, the U-shaped attention curve, why context quality matters more than quantity, and the mental models needed to interpret every other context-engineering decision. Use this for conceptual explanation, onboarding, and background reading. Route operational work to the specialized skills: debugging attention failures goes to context-degradation, token-efficiency work goes to context-optimization, conversation summariza

Security

Scanned Oct 20, 2026 at commit 9ff0c99108b3, with Cisco's open-source skill-scanner.

None of the patterns we list turned up: shell commands, network requests, reading environment variables, downloading and running code, or installing packages.

A scan lists patterns in the code. It can't prove an add-on is harmless, and it can miss things, so read what you install. How we scan
