Step by step
- Open the GitHub repo and read the README.
- In Claude Code: /plugin marketplace add mksglu/context-mode, then /plugin install context-mode@context-mode, and restart.
- Run /context-mode:ctx-doctor; every check should pass. Other agents have their own setup steps in the README.
- Work as usual, then run /context-mode:ctx-stats to see how much context it saved.
Watch out for
It adds hooks that change how your agent runs tools; ctx-doctor shows what is wrong if something breaks. The hosted Insight dashboard is an optional extra. The license is source-available, not classic open source.
