Validate AI context file quality — signal-to-noise ratio, line budgets, stale paths, AGENTS-to-bridge consistency, and context health scoring: $ARGUMENTS
Validate the quality and freshness of AI context files in the current project. Scores signal-to-noise ratio, checks line budgets, detects stale paths, verifies that bridge files stay consistent with AGENTS.md, and flags MEMORY.md drift.
Behaviour
- Load the
context-verifyskill for the full verification framework and scoring rubric - Run all verification checks against existing context files
- Calculate and report the context health score
Arguments
- No arguments: Run full verification with interactive report
ci: Output machine-readable format for CI/CD pipelines (exit code 1 on failures)ci --min-score N: Fail if score falls below threshold N
Output
AI Context Health: 82/100 (B — Minor tuning needed)
Breakdown:
Line Budget: 18/20 (-2 CLAUDE.md bridge restates AGENTS commands)
Signal Quality: 17/20 (-3 AGENTS.md has file tree)
Path Accuracy: 18/20 (-2 .cursorrules references src/old.ts)
Consistency: 13/15 (-2 CLAUDE.md missing @AGENTS.md)
Freshness: 12/15 (-3 copilot-instructions.md stale 90+ days)
Context Load: 10/10 ✓
Checks: 13 run (line budgets, signal quality, stale paths, AGENTS-to-bridge consistency,
MEMORY.md drift, Context Guard status, context load, @import paths, rule path-scopes,
rule symlinks, .mcp.json, agent memory hygiene, plugin manifest)
To reach grade A (90+): Remove file tree from AGENTS.md (+3), restore @AGENTS.md import (+2), fix stale path (+2). Was this helpful?
