Context Anchor Skill
Helps agents recover context after compaction by scanning memory files and generating a "here's where you are" briefing.
Why This Exists
Context compaction loses memory. Files survive. But after waking up fresh, you need to:
- Know what you were working on
- See decisions that were made
- Find open loops that need closing
- Get oriented fast
This skill automates that recovery.
Quick Start
# Full briefing (default)
./scripts/anchor.sh
# Just show current task
./scripts/anchor.sh --task
# Just show active context files
./scripts/anchor.sh --active
# Just show recent decisions
./scripts/anchor.sh --decisions
# Show open loops / questions
./scripts/anchor.sh --loops
# Scan specific number of days back
./scripts/anchor.sh --days 3
What It Scans
| Source | What It Extracts |
|---|---|
memory/current-task.md |
Current task status, blockers, next steps |
memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md |
Recent daily logs (last 2 days by default) |
context/active/*.md |
In-progress task files |
| Daily logs | Decisions (lines with "Decision:", "Decided:", "✅") |
| Daily logs | Open loops (lines with "?", "TODO:", "Blocker:", "Need to") |
Output Format
The script outputs a structured briefing:

Integration with AGENTS.md
Add to your "Every Session" routine:
## Every Session
Before doing anything else:
1. Run `./skills/context-anchor/scripts/anchor.sh` for orientation
2. Read `SOUL.md` — this is who you are
3. Read `USER.md` — this is who you're helping
...
Or use it manually when you feel lost about context.
Customization
Change workspace root
WORKSPACE=/path/to/workspace ./scripts/anchor.sh
Change days to scan
./scripts/anchor.sh --days 5 # Scan 5 days back
No Dependencies
Pure bash. Uses only:
find,grep,head,tail,date,stat- Works on macOS and Linux
- No external tools required
When to Use
- Session start: Quick orientation on what's happening
- After compaction: Recover lost context
- Feeling lost: "Wait, what was I doing?"
- Handoff: Show another agent where things stand
- Daily review: See what decisions were made
- 确保已安装 OpenClaw(本地或 Docker 部署)
- 在对话框中输入安装命令:
/install context-anchor - 安装完成后,直接呼叫该 Skill 的名称或使用
/context-anchor触发 - 根据 Skill 的参数说明提供必要输入,即可获得结构化输出
