Problem Statement

A change in initial context loading in v2.1.0 appears to be the switch from eagerly loading initial context files to lazily loading them, likely only some sort of metadata.

Example: The Linear MCP initial context usage went from 9.8% of the context window to 2.2% of the context window, with some tools using 0 tokens.

Problem: Claude no longer activates skills in the same manner it did before. I have to remind Claude that it has certain things available that, I'm assuming, it does not realize it has because the full context is no longer loaded. A session-start hook that provides instructions on skill discovery and usage (obra/superpowers) previously provided a very nice skill initialization experience, which broke with the update.

Proposed Solution

Provide the ability to eagerly load context again, or lazily load better/more complete metadata information to provide claude the context it needs for discovery.
