1> **Host: Codex CLI** — This skill was designed for Claude Code and adapted for Codex.
2> Cross-reference commands use installed skill names in Codex rather than `/octo:*` slash commands.
3> Use the active Codex shell and subagent tools. Do not claim a provider, model, or host subagent is available until the current session exposes it.
4> For host tool equivalents, see `skills/blocks/codex-host-adapter.md`.

7# Knowledge Work Mode - Context Override Skill
8
9## Context Auto-Detection (v7.8+)
10
11**Claude Octopus now auto-detects work context!** The system analyzes your prompt and project to determine whether you're in a **Dev Context** (code-focused) or **Knowledge Context** (research/strategy-focused).
12
13**You typically don't need this skill** - context is detected automatically when you use:
14- `octo research X` - Auto-detects dev vs knowledge research
15- `octo build X` - Auto-detects code vs document building
16- `octo review X` - Auto-detects code vs document review
17
18## When to Use This Override
19
20**Use ONLY when auto-detection is wrong:**
21- Auto-detection chose Dev but you want Knowledge behavior
22- Auto-detection chose Knowledge but you want Dev behavior
23- You want to force a specific context for the entire session
24
25## Override Commands
26
27### Force Knowledge Context
28```bash
29/octo:km on
30```
31All subsequent workflows will use Knowledge Context until reset.
32
33### Force Dev Context
34```bash
35/octo:km off
36```
37All subsequent workflows will use Dev Context until reset.
