DisclaimerUnofficial, and not affiliated with Anthropic. Nearly all of this is read straight out of what ships: npm bundles, captured prompts, published docs. Anthropic's own notes go in verbatim, marked as theirs. The rest is my reading, and every entry carries the strings behind it. If one looks wrong, vote it down and say why.

/context returns a structured breakdown of token usage

Context

/context now attaches exact machine-readable token numbers alongside its rendered report.

/context
What

The /context command now attaches machine-readable usage data to its message alongside the text, so the context report carries exact numbers rather than only rendered output.

Details
  • The payload includes the model, total_tokens, raw_max_tokens, a percentage, and an optional over-limit block giving how many tokens over and of what kind.
  • Separate breakdowns for categories, MCP tools, memory files and agents.
  • Each category is classified by a new helper as free, buffer, deferred or used.
  • The field flows through to the transcript and to the assistant message yielded to the caller. No such field existed in the previous build.
Evidence

raw_max_tokens

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
