Skill and agent recommendation system for Claude Code — knowledge graph, wiki, and intake quality gates

ctx — Skill, Agent & MCP Recommendation for Claude Code

Watches what you develop, walks a knowledge graph of 1,968 skills, 464 agents, and 10,786 MCP servers, and recommends the right bundle on the fly. You approve, it installs; you stop using, it unloads. Powered by a Karpathy LLM wiki with persistent memory that gets smarter every session.

2026-04-27 updates.

• Imported mattpocock/skills — 21 opinionated skills (TDD, domain-model, ubiquitous-language, github-triage, caveman compression mode, write-a-skill, plus 15 more) deployed under the mattpocock- prefix. See imported-skills/mattpocock/ATTRIBUTION.md.
• Imported designdotmd.directory — 156 DESIGN.md files (visual identities: color tokens, typography, spacing, components + rationale) deployed under the designdotmd- prefix. These are reference designs an agent can read when asked to build a UI. See imported-skills/designdotmd/ATTRIBUTION.md.
• Skill total: 1,791 → 1,968 (+177).

Why it exists

• Discovery — with 1,700+ skills, 400+ agents, and 10K+ MCPs, you can't possibly know which exist or which apply to your current work.
• Context budget — loading everything wastes tokens and degrades quality. You need the right 10–15 per session.
• Skill rot — skills you installed months ago and never used are cluttering context. Stale ones should be flagged automatically.

Install

pip install claude-ctx
ctx-init --hooks            # one-shot setup: directories, hooks, starter toolboxes

Optional extras: pip install "claude-ctx[embeddings]" for the semantic backend, pip install "claude-ctx[dev]" for the test toolchain.

Pre-built knowledge graph (optional)

A pre-built knowledge graph of 13,218 nodes and 963K edges ships as a tarball. Extract to get a ready-to-use ~/.claude/skill-wiki/:

# after `git clone` — or download graph/wiki-graph.tar.gz from the GitHub release
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skill-wiki
tar xzf graph/wiki-graph.tar.gz -C ~/.claude/skill-wiki/

Windows / Git-Bash / MSYS: pass --force-local so tar doesn't read the c: in the path as a remote host: tar --force-local xzf graph/wiki-graph.tar.gz -C ~/.claude/skill-wiki/. Linux/macOS users can ignore.

Use

After install, the ctx hooks integrate automatically with Claude Code's PostToolUse + Stop events. Typical flow:

ctx-scan-repo --repo .     # scan current repo, surface recommended skills/agents
ctx-skill-quality list     # four-signal quality score for every skill
ctx-skill-quality explain python-patterns   # drill into a single skill
ctx-skill-health dashboard # structural health + drift detection
ctx-toolbox run --event pre-commit          # run a council on the current diff
ctx-monitor serve          # local dashboard: http://127.0.0.1:8765/

The ctx-monitor dashboard shows currently loaded skills with load/unload buttons, a cytoscape graph view (/graph?slug=…), the LLM-wiki entity browser (/wiki/<slug>), a filterable skills grid, a session timeline, an audit log viewer, and a live SSE event stream.
