# context-viz — Context Window Sankey Visualizer
Generates a self-contained HTML artifact showing Claude Code context window usage as a Sankey diagram flowing from total capacity → categories → top sub-items.
---
## When invoked
1. Tell the user: "Run `/context all expand` and paste the output here, or I'll use whatever context data is already visible in our conversation."
2. Parse the data (see **Parsing** below).
3. Build the HTML page (see **HTML Template** below).
4. Call the `Artifact` tool with `file_path` pointing to the generated file, `favicon` = "📊", and a one-sentence `description`.

## Parsing `/context` output
### Top-level table
```
Context Usage Model: claude-sonnet-4-6 Tokens: 91k / 200k (45%)
Category | Tokens | Percentage
System prompt | 6.6k | 3.3%
System tools | 29.9k | 14.9%
MCP tools | 38.1k | 19.0%
Custom agents | 2.7k | 1.4%
Memory files | 10.5k | 5.3%
Skills | 3.1k | 1.5%
Messages | 110 | 0.1%
Free space | 76k | 38.0%
```
Parse rules:
- Extract `totalTokens` from "Tokens: Xk / 200k" — use 200000 as capacity if missing.
- Extract `usedTokens` from the same line.
- For each row, strip whitespace, parse the token value (handle `k` suffix → multiply by 1000).
- Map category names to short keys:
| Raw name | Key | Color |
|-----------------|--------------|---------------|
| System prompt | system | #6366f1 (indigo) |
| System tools | tools | #8b5cf6 (violet) |
| MCP tools | mcp | #ec4899 (pink) |
| Custom agents | agents | #f59e0b (amber) |
| Memory files | memory | #10b981 (emerald)|
| Skills | skills | #14b8a6 (teal) |
| Messages | messages | #3b82f6 (blue) |
| Free space | free | #6b7280 (gray) |
### Sub-items (expanded output)
After each category block there may be indented sub-items, e.g.:
```
MCP tools (38.1k)
brave-search: 2.1k
context7: 4.8k
slack: 12.3k
...
```
Or memory files:
```
Memory files (10.5k)
~/.claude/CLAUDE.md: 3.2k
~/.claude/RTK.md: 0.4k
/project/CLAUDE.md: 6.9k
```
Parse rules for sub-items:
- Match lines starting with 2+ spaces followed by `name: Xk` or `name (Xk)`.
- Group under the preceding category.
- Keep top 6 sub-items per category by token count; collapse the rest into "Other".
- If no sub-items present, show a single node for that category with no children.
---
## HTML Template
Write a complete self-contained HTML file with the Sankey diagram, a summary table, and a usage pill. Use the template in [HTML Template](references/html-template.md) verbatim — substitute `SANKEY_DATA` with the JSON built from parsing (below).
### Building `SANKEY_DATA`
Replace the `SANKEY_DATA` placeholder with a JSON literal of this shape:
```json
{
"model": "claude-sonnet-4-6",
"timestamp": "2026-07-02 14:30",
"capacity": 200000,
"usedTokens": 91000,
"categories": [
{
"key": "system",
"label": "System prompt",
"color": "#6366f1",
"tokens": 6600,
"children": []
},
{
"key": "mcp",
"label": "MCP tools",
"color": "#ec4899",
"tokens": 38100,
"children": [
{ "label": "slack", "tokens": 12300 },
{ "label": "context7", "tokens": 4800 },
{ "label": "Other", "tokens": 21000 }
]
},
{
"key": "free",
"label": "Free space",
"color": "#6b7280",
"tokens": 76000,
"children": []
}
]
}
```
Include all categories; include `children` only for categories that have expanded sub-item data in the pasted output.
---
## Output
- Write the HTML to the scratchpad directory (use `$SCRATCHPAD` or `/tmp/context-viz.html` if scratchpad unavailable).
- Call `Artifact` with:
- `file_path`: path to the written file
- `favicon`: "📊"
- `description`: "Claude Code context window usage — Sankey diagram + summary table"
- `label`: "context-viz v1"
---
## Edge cases
- No sub-items in output → `children: []` for all categories; Sankey shows only two columns.
- Missing "Free space" row → compute it as `capacity - sum(all other categories)`.
- Token value like `110` (no k suffix) → treat as raw integer.
- If user doesn't paste output, remind them: "Run `/context all expand` (or just `/context`) and paste here."
