The routing logic itself works well and correctly declines to fire on clear-cut requests like 'check health of orders table', but it's only useful bundled with 5 sibling skills it hands off to via relative paths -- copying just this one SKILL.md, as a normal single-skill install would, leaves it routing to files that don't exist.

Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works

  • Installs cleanly 5/5
  • Triggers reliably 5/5
  • Output vs. baseline 7/10
  • Docs & honesty 4/5

What Monte Carlo Context Detection does

A meta-routing skill for the Monte Carlo data observability plugin: categorizes vague requests (alerts, coverage gaps, incidents, stale data) by signal, forces 1-3 clarifying questions before any API probe on turn one, then hands off to asset-health, incident-response, proactive-monitoring, monitoring-advisor, or instrument-agent. Explicitly stands down when a request already clearly names a single skill, table, or workflow.

How to install Monte Carlo Context Detection

git clone https://github.com/monte-carlo-data/mc-agent-toolkit
cd mc-agent-toolkit
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
cp -r skills/context-detection ~/.claude/skills/monte-carlo-context-detection

Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ (per-project). Restart Claude Code after installing.

Commands — how to trigger Monte Carlo Context Detection

  • /monte-carlo-context-detection Routes ambiguous Monte Carlo data-quality requests to the right sub-skill instead of guessing.

It also activates on plain-language prompts like these:

  • Why did I get a data quality alert on this table this morning
  • There's a coverage gap in monitoring, help me figure out where to look
  • Something seems stale in our data pipeline, can you investigate

Frequently asked questions

Is the Monte Carlo Context Detection skill free?
Yes. The skill itself is free from monte-carlo-data/mc-agent-toolkit. SkillProof publishes the install command and an independent test verdict at no cost.
Does Monte Carlo Context Detection work with Claude Code?
We tested it with Claude Code 2.x (agent harness) on Jul 13, 2026. Verdict: Works with setup. The routing logic itself works well and correctly declines to fire on clear-cut requests like 'check health of orders table', but it's only useful bundled with 5 sibling skills it hands off to via relative paths -- copying just this one SKILL.md, as a normal single-skill install would, leaves it routing to files that don't exist.
What is the Monte Carlo Context Detection SkillProof Score?
8.4/10 — installs cleanly 5/5, triggers reliably 5/5, output vs. baseline 7/10, docs & honesty 4/5.
How do I install Monte Carlo Context Detection?
Copy the install command from this page, run it in your terminal, and restart Claude Code. Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ inside a project.
Can I use Monte Carlo Context Detection with Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Codex or other AI tools?
The SKILL.md format is native to Claude (Claude Code, Desktop, claude.ai). The instructions inside adapt to other assistants: Cursor rules, GitHub Copilot instructions, Windsurf rules, Custom GPTs, AGENTS.md for OpenAI Codex, and GEMINI.md for Google Gemini CLI — our conversion guides cover each, and the free converter on the tools page does the wrapping for you.
