A new command-line tool called skill-tax-cli has been developed to address the issue of "silent demotion" of skills within Claude Code. This tool audits the context window usage of installed skills, identifying which ones might lose their descriptions due to exceeding a 1% budget. The CLI provides deterministic replays of Claude Code's overflow rule, alerting users to potentially invisible skills before they are dropped from the model's context. It aims to be a CI-friendly solution for managing skill context tax across various sources like user skills, project skills, and marketplace plugins. AI
