Context Kit Skills

A family of six Claude skills for building and maintaining a context kit -- a CLAUDE.md entry point plus a structured docs/ tree (runbooks, changelog, history, status, per-session notes) that gives an AI agent durable, low-noise project memory across sessions.

The skills are stack-agnostic and name-agnostic: they describe conventions and procedures, not any one project. Drop the skills/ directory into a skills-capable Claude environment and invoke a skill by name.

The skills

Skill What it does
context-kit-capture Capture a finished workflow or troubleshooting session as a self-contained task file and update CLAUDE.md.
context-kit-check Read-only integrity, wiring, and hygiene audit of a context kit: version/changelog match, link resolution, orphaned docs, committed-secret and leaked-path scan, date and ordering checks. Includes scripts/check_kit.py.
context-kit-ingest Repeatably fold pre-existing material (an old chat export, a handover, a ticket export) into the kit -- distilled to signal, never stored as a verbatim transcript.
context-kit-scaffold Mine an existing project's docs, conventions, and runbooks into a portable, generic starter kit for the next project.
context-kit-split Reorganize docs to cut per-session context load: move accumulated history out of session-loaded entry-point docs into companion files, leaving a pointer behind. Includes scripts/verify_split.sh.
context-kit-steward Meta-skill that keeps the family coherent: owns the shared conventions charter (references/CONVENTIONS.md) and audits the other skills for drift.

Conventions they share

The canonical conventions live in skills/context-kit-steward/references/CONVENTIONS.md: work-start dating, newest-first ordering, multi-session concurrency safety, reference-don't-embed, hygiene (no verbatim transcripts, no secrets, no leaked absolute paths), and skill-authoring limits.

Usage

These are Agent Skills. Place the contents of skills/ where your Claude environment discovers skills, then invoke one by name (for example, ask Claude to "check my CLAUDE.md" to trigger context-kit-check). Each SKILL.md documents its own triggers and procedure.
