Explain or reason about foundational context engineering concepts: what context is, the anatomy of a context window, attention mechanics, the U-shaped attention curve, why context quality matters more than quantity, and the mental models needed to interpret context-engineering decisions. Use for conceptual explanation, onboarding, and background reading. Route operational work to context-degradation for attention failures and context-optimization for token-efficiency work.

context-fundamentals

Understand the components, mechanics, and constraints of context in agent systems — for designing architectures and debugging context failures.

Local modifications: Ported to upstream v2.2.0 (2026-05-15 corpus, commit cbc2c978133d) on 2026-06-12 — body, references, and scripts now match upstream, including the routing framework and gotchas sections. Cross-references to upstream sibling skills not vendored here (context-compression, filesystem-context, project-development, latent-briefing) were removed so routing only names skills present in this marketplace.

Checking for upstream changes: when upstream has moved ahead of the synced marker above, diff skills/context-fundamentals/SKILL.md on main since commit cbc2c978133d, port anything worth bringing home, then bump metadata.upstream_commit (or metadata.upstream_version) and metadata.last_synced in SKILL.md and this table.
