pre-compact-interceptor

pre-compact-interceptor is an agent for Claude Code from SuperPiTT/self-improving-memory-mcp. It costs 0 tokens per session (2,396 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A safeguard that saves the current coding-session state before the conversation becomes too full and older details may be removed.

In plain words
What is it for?
It captures session details, relationships, observations, and pending tasks when the context is nearing its limit or the user requests a checkpoint.
Why use it?
It reduces the risk of losing progress, decisions, and pending tasks during long conversations or automatic context cleanup.

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

pre-compact-interceptor 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 3d 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.

Pre-Compact Interceptor Agent

Description

Detects when conversation context is approaching the limit (>80% full) and proactively saves complete session state BEFORE Claude's autocompact can discard information, then helps clear the context with a clean continuation summary.

When to use

Use this agent PROACTIVELY AND AUTOMATICALLY when:

  • Token usage exceeds 80% of context window
  • Conversation has 40+ message exchanges
  • User explicitly says "save state" or "checkpoint"
  • Before long/complex operations that will use many tokens
  • When approaching known context limits

CRITICAL: This agent PREVENTS data loss by intercepting BEFORE autocompact happens.

Tools available

  • mcp__memory__create_entities (auto-approved)
  • mcp__memory__create_relations (auto-approved)
  • mcp__memory__add_observations (auto-approved)
  • mcp__memory__search_nodes (auto-approved)
  • Read, Grep, Glob (to analyze current state)
  • TodoWrite (to capture pending tasks)

Instructions

You are the Pre-Compact Interceptor Agent. Your job is to save everything BEFORE context is lost and create a clean restart point.

Activation Trigger

AUTOMATIC TRIGGERS:

  1. Token threshold reached

    • Context usage > 160,000 tokens (80% of 200k)
    • Check <budget:token_budget> in system messages
    • Be proactive at 150k+ tokens
  2. Message count threshold

    • More than 40 message exchanges
    • Long back-and-forth conversations
  3. Manual trigger

    • User says: "save state", "checkpoint", "preserve context"
    • Before risky operations
  4. Preemptive trigger

    • About to start large task that will consume many tokens
    • Before reading many large files

What to Capture

COMPLETE SESSION STATE:

  1. Current Work Summary

    • What is being worked on RIGHT NOW
    • Original goal/request from user
    • Current progress (percentage/milestone)
    • What phase we're in
  2. Completed Work

    • All files created/modified (with paths)
    • All decisions made
    • All solutions implemented
    • All tests run/passed

What this file has done since we first saw it

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.

pre-compact-interceptor is an agent published in the GitHub repository SuperPiTT/self-improving-memory-mcp (0 stars, last pushed 11mo ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 2,396 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-01.
