Use when a prompt or corpus is long/dense (multi-docs, logs, codebases) and you want a reproducible map/reduce pipeline. Trigger this skill to slice inputs, run per-slice codex/gemini subcalls, and aggregate results with manifests/logs via the slice runner (preferred default), falling back to manual REPL slicing only if needed.

From the source SKILL.md

Use this skill to replicate the paper's REPL-based RLM pattern: treat the long prompt as data in a Python REPL, peek/slice it with code, and spawn recursive sub-LM calls (codex or gemini) on targeted snippets. Designed for dynamic context (write big outputs to files; read with tail/rg) and AGENTS preferences (plans/logs/results outside the skill dir).

What this skill does

Slicing Long Contexts is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the general-misc sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/slicing-long-contexts/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.
