    About This Skill

    Optimize Your AI Workflows

    Context Window Tracker is a specialized utility for developers using OpenClaw who need to monitor token consumption in real-time. It prevents the sudden "context full" errors that derail complex coding sessions by providing transparency into exactly how your context budget is being spent.

    What it does

    The skill analyzes your active session transcript and system files to generate readable usage reports. It supports two modes:

    • Compact: A one-line visual progress bar with vital stats (Total usage, % full, estimated turns remaining).
    • Detailed: A deep-dive breakdown showing which specific files (like SOUL.md or TOOLS.md) are consuming the most tokens, alongside conversation history and framework overhead.

    Why use this skill?

    Unlike basic AI prompting which can only guess its usage, this tool reads the underlying session .jsonl files to provide accurate data. It includes a smart health indicator (Green/Yellow/Red) and provides contextual guidance on whether you have enough room to finish your current task or should start a fresh session.

    Supported Features

    • Per-file token breakdown for system prompts.
    • Trend analysis to estimate remaining turns based on session velocity.
    • Cache hit rate tracking for cost efficiency.
    • Optional auto-check mode that triggers every 10 messages.
