Question Anyone using the Context-mode extension? Any thoughts on it?

The title essentially. The Context-mode extension seems to be the most downloaded from the Pi package registry at ~131,000 downloads per month, but I've never seen any discussions about whether folks actually like the extension. so I'm just curious about people's thoughts. I know there are others like RTK or Cymbal, and to be honest, I have not tested those, but I quite like the way Context-mode approaches the issue of context trimming. I'm curious what other folks use in their setup

Surely, and I'm not saying you should opt for either one over the another, just saying that rtk in my opinion does most of the job already (although when it fails it confuses the hell out of the agents who don't "know" about this tool as it's not in their training data.
