npx skills add mksglu/context-mode --skill ctx-insight -a claude-codeWhat ctx-insight does
ctx-insight calls the ctx_insight MCP tool without parameters. The tool opens the hosted Insight dashboard at https://context-mode.com/insight and returns a confirmation line for the agent to display.
Insight provides per-engineer productivity data, retry waste tracking, blocker detection, and views narrowed by role. The landing page also contains sign-in and pricing details. If the browser does not open automatically, open the URL manually.
The skill is available for Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI, and OpenCode. It relies on the ctx_insight MCP tool and the default browser.

- open the Insight dashboard from an agent
