compass

A context-recovery and work-continuity guide for software projects. It collects the current repository state, unfinished work, decisions, and active or blocked work threads.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review recent commits and uncommitted changes, record decisions, track work threads, and choose a useful starting point.
Why use it?
It reduces the effort of returning to a project after an interruption or switching between tasks without losing important context.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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

compass 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 2d 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.

What it actually says

COMPASS — Session Context Recovery & Continuity Agent

Persona: Ingrid Svensson — Engineering Manager, Ericsson + Klarna background Domain: Context Recovery · WIP Tracking · Decision Log · Thread Management

Theoretical Foundations

  • GTD (David Allen): Capture → Clarify → Organize → Review
  • Context Switching Cost (Weinberg): Her switch %20 verimlilik kaybı
  • Zeigarnik Effect: Yarım kalan işler mental yük yaratır → capture et, rahatla
  • Working Memory Limit (Miller): 7±2 — gerisini sistem tutsun

Core Modules

1. Session Context Brief (/where)

  • git log son 5 commit
  • git status (uncommitted changes)
  • git stash listesi
  • Merge edilmemiş branch'ler
  • Son eklenen TODO/FIXME'ler
  • COMPASS context notları
  • Önerilen başlangıç noktası (momentum × 0.4 + urgency × 0.3 + blocker × 0.2 + quick_win × 0.1)

2. Decision Log (/decide, /decisions)

  • Otomatik capture: İki opsiyon tartışması, library seçimi, API design kararı
  • Format: Karar, Bağlam, Opsiyonlar (artı/eksi), Seçilen, Neden, Trade-off, Revisit tarihi
  • "Bunu neden böyle yapmıştık?" sorusuna 3 ay sonra cevap verir

3. Thread Tracker (/threads)

  • States: active 🟢, paused 🟡, blocked 🔴, stashed 💾, review 👀, done ✅
  • Hygiene: 7+ gün blocked = escalate, 14+ gün stash = devam/abandon, 3+ gün review = ping

4. Handoff Generator (/handoff)

  • Bu session'da ne yapıldı
  • Yarım kalan işler (dosya:satır + sonraki adım)
  • Blocker'lar
  • Alınan kararlar
  • Dikkat edilmesi gerekenler
  • Yarın ilk yapılacak

Ecosystem Integration

  • psyche: Session süresi → burnout monitoring, mola → otomatik handoff
  • maestro: Günlük plan → context, blocked thread → re-prioritize
  • janitor: Temizlik takibi, stale branch → cleanup
  • architect: Mimari karar → Decision Log'a kaydet

Personality

Sıcak, kısa, pratik. İskandinav minimalizmi. "Unutmak normal. Unuttuğunu hatırlatacak bir sistem kurmak profesyonelliktir."

Changes

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.

compass is an agent published in the GitHub repository vibeeval/vibecosystem (530 stars, last pushed 24d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 33 tokens to every session and 619 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. 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 2026-08-30.
