Meta Context Watcher
Use when a session's context is large enough that quality is degrading or compaction is close, when a Stop nudge reports the handover threshold was crossed, or on "write a handover", "hand this over", "context is getting full", or "let's start a fresh session". Also use when a session picks up from an existing handover.md or OPEN-WORK.md, or is asked what to do next - "read the handover", "what next", "what's next for <project>", "what is still open", "list the open points" - when unfinished work or an unmet user request must outlive the session and belongs in the standing backlog, when open items keep sinking under whatever was worked on last, or on "add this to the backlog", "clean up the backlog

From the source SKILL.md
A long session gets worse before it gets full. Accuracy falls from roughly 300-400k tokens on a 1M window and from about 50k on a 200k one, while Claude Code does not auto-compact until around 83% - and compaction DISCARDS working detail rather than preserving it.
What this skill does
