try /context in Claude Code

[grim_io]

A very crude tool. A good start maybe, but it does not give us any information about the message part of the context, the one that matters.

We can't really do much with the information that x amount is reserved for MCP, tool calling or the system prompt.

I actually think this is pretty useful information. It helps you evaluate whether an MCP server is worth the context cost. Similar for getting a feel for how much context certain tool uses use up. I feel like there's a way you can change the system prompt, and so that helps you evaluate if what you've got there is worth it also.
