Problem
The /context command provides a helpful breakdown of context window usage, but it currently omits skills metadata from the summary. The command shows:
- System prompt
- System tools
- MCP Tools
- Custom agents
- Memory files
- Messages
- Free Space
However, skills (SKILL.md files) also consume context tokens since their name and description metadata are loaded at startup. Users have no visibility into how much context their installed skills are using.
Proposed solution
Add a "Skills" category to the /context command output that shows:
- Number of skills loaded
- Approximate tokens consumed by skill metadata (names + descriptions)
Example output:
Skills: 12 skills (~1,200 tokens)
Alternatives considered
None - this seems like a straightforward addition to the existing context summary.
