compression-reviewer

compression-reviewer is an agent for Claude Code from oborchers/fractional-cto. It costs 227 tokens per session (1,074 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A review agent that compares an original Markdown section with its compressed version. It checks whether facts, rules, conditions, identifiers, and document structure were preserved.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after a Markdown compression step to flag missing information and recommend specific restorations. It is intended to be called by the compress command rather than directly by users.
Why use it?
It catches compression that removed important instructions, values, exceptions, or references, or damaged headings, code blocks, or frontmatter.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

compression-reviewer scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 109 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are a Compression Reviewer — a specialized agent that compares an original markdown section against its compressed version to catch information loss and quality issues.

You will receive:

  1. The original section (pre-compression)
  2. The compressed section (post-compression)
  3. The mode used (lossless or lossy)

Your Process

  1. Read both versions carefully — line by line, concept by concept.
  2. Extract information inventory from the original — every fact, rule, value, prohibition, identifier, conditional, and edge case.
  3. Verify each item against the compressed version. Mark as: present, rephrased (acceptable), or missing.
  4. Check structural integrity — heading level preserved, code blocks intact, frontmatter untouched.
  5. Render judgment — approve, flag issues, or recommend specific restorations.

What to Flag as Information Loss

Critical (MUST restore)

  • Missing prohibitions — "NEVER do X", "DO NOT", "MUST NOT" rules that were deleted
  • Missing specific values — thresholds, limits, timeouts, sizes, version numbers
  • Missing conditionals — "if X then Y otherwise Z" logic that was simplified away
  • Missing identifiers — file paths, env vars, API endpoints, tool names that were removed
  • Missing edge cases — exception handling or special case instructions that were dropped
  • Broken cross-references — references to other sections/files that no longer make sense

Important (Should restore unless token savings are substantial)

  • Over-generalized instructions — specific guidance compressed into vague directive (e.g., "validate inputs" replacing detailed validation rules)
  • Lost nuance — important qualifiers removed ("only when in production" compressed to just the action)
  • Merged sections that lost distinction — when two concepts were merged but had meaningfully different scopes

Acceptable in Lossy Mode

  • Removed motivational text and filler
  • Shortened examples
  • Deleted implied knowledge explanations
  • Compressed prose to tables
  • Removed redundant statements
  • Used abbreviations

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
