What it tells the agent

The instruction file, verbatim from the audited commit — this is the text the model reads, and the surface the audit's instruction layer examines. Quoted here so you can judge it without cloning anything.

# Context Mode Search

Search indexed content without rereading raw sources into conversation context.

## Instructions

1. Prefer the `ctx_search` MCP tool when it is available.
2. Batch all related questions in one `queries` array.
3. Scope with `source` when the user names a project or indexed label.
4. Use short, specific queries of two to four technical terms.

```javascript
ctx_search({
  source: "project:<name>",
  queries: ["authentication middleware", "token refresh"],
  limit: 5
})
```

5. If MCP tools are unavailable, fall back to the CLI:

```bash
context-mode search "authentication middleware" --source project:<name> --limit 5
```

6. If the index is empty, tell the user to run `/context-mode:ctx-index` or `context-mode index <path>` first.

Questions

What does the ctx-search — mksglu/context-mode skill do?

Context window optimization for AI coding agents. Sandboxes tool output (98% reduction), persists session memory, and enforces routing across 17 platforms via MCP + hooks.

Is ctx-search — mksglu/context-mode safe to install?

The audit found nothing in the source that contradicts what it says it does, and graded it B (89/100). Grade A is held back for packages that have also passed a sandboxed behavioural run, which is why a clean skill reads B.

What can ctx-search — mksglu/context-mode access on my machine?

The audit observed no filesystem, network or shell use at all in its source.

How current is this page?

The grade is for one exact copy of the source (5a9f6e4ef055), read on 2026-10-28. The repository is watched, and a new audit runs when it changes — this is the first audit.
