Diagnose and Repair Context Degradation

Long contexts can hide critical instructions, preserve bad claims, and mix conflicting tasks. This skill diagnoses the failure pattern and recommends placement, filtering, compression, isolation, or recovery strategies.

Install with my Agent

Copy this request to your Agent. It includes the canonical Skill page and manifest.

Agent request

Review the Skillstore skill "context-degradation" from https://skillstore.io/skills/muratcankoylan-context-degradation.md and its manifest at https://skillstore.io/api/skills/muratcankoylan-context-degradation/manifest. Verify the artifact. You may proceed after verification, subject to the environment's own policy.

Your Agent should still show its plan and request any confirmation required by the security policy.

Test it

Using "context-degradation". The agent ignores a deadline placed halfway through a long project history.

Expected outcome:

Likely pattern: lost-in-middle.
Move the deadline into the current task block and repeat it near the prompt end.
Retest at increasing context lengths to confirm the placement effect.

Using "context-degradation". Two retrieved guides describe different API endpoints, and the agent alternates between them.

Expected outcome:

Likely pattern: context clash caused by version conflict.
Label each source version and select the production version before prompt assembly.
Exclude the outdated guide and record the precedence decision.

All 22 static findings are false positives caused by Python documentation markup, Markdown formatting, ordinary text literals, and a benign dictionary-key print. No command execution, credential handling, system reconnaissance, prompt injection, or other malicious intent was found.

What You Can Build

Debug a Long Agent Session

Identify why instructions or facts stop influencing responses as conversation history grows.

Review Retrieved Context

Find irrelevant, outdated, contradictory, or unverified material before it enters a model prompt.

Design Reliability Tests

Define workload-specific baselines, degradation thresholds, monitoring signals, and recovery checks.

Try These Prompts

Quick Context Diagnosis

Review this conversation for context degradation. Identify the likely pattern, cite symptoms, and recommend three immediate fixes.

Lost-in-Middle Review

Analyze the supplied prompt layout for lost-in-middle risk. Mark critical content, assess placement, and propose a safer ordering.

Retrieval Quality Audit

Compare these documents for poisoning, distraction, and clash. Explain source conflicts, relevance gaps, and content that should be removed.

Production Health Plan

Design a context health plan for this agent. Define metrics, baselines, alert thresholds, compaction triggers, recovery steps, and validation tests.

Best Practices

Establish a low-context performance baseline before diagnosing degradation.
Keep source provenance and version labels beside every retrieved claim.
Trigger compaction or isolation before measured performance reaches its decline threshold.
