Context Anchor

Category: General · Sub-category: general-misc · Last updated: 2026-05-21

Set and maintain a persistent core topic or purpose for the entire AI session. Use when the user sets a core topic, anchors context, says "let's focus on X", "today we're building Y", "we're working on Z", or asks the assistant to stay on track across a long task.

From the source SKILL.md

Persistent attention anchoring for long AI sessions. Externalizes the core session purpose to ~/.context_anchor.md and enforces periodic recitation to maintain focus across many tool calls, preventing drift from tangential requests.

What this skill does

When to invoke it: Use when the user sets a core topic, anchors context, says "let's focus on X", "today we're building Y", "we're working on Z", or asks the assistant to stay on track across a long task.
