Monitors context window health throughout a session and rides peak context quality for maximum output fidelity. Activates automatically after plan-interview and intent-framed-agent. Stays active through execution and hands off cleanly to simplify-and-harden and self-improvement when the wave completes naturally or exits via handoff. Use this skill whenever a multi-step agent task is underway and session continuity or context drift is a concern. Especially important for long-running tasks, complex refactors, or any work where degraded context would silently corrupt the output. Trigger even if the user doesn't say "context surfing" — if an agent task is running across multiple steps with intent and a plan already established, this skill is live.
This skill does not declare a tool allowlist. The agent host applies whatever default tools are available at runtime.
