autocompact

autocompact is a command for coding agents from vanzan01/claude-code-sub-agent-collective. It costs 8 tokens per session (283 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command that records the current project work, decisions, open files, and next steps in `.claude/context.md` before a context reset.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before compacting a session, then run the suggested command to continue work from the saved summary.
Why use it?
It gives the agent a written snapshot to use after its conversation context is shortened or cleared.

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

autocompact 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 5d 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

AutoCompact - Save Context to File

Step 1: Analyze Current State

Extract and document:

  • Current project/phase/task status
  • Todo list state (use TodoRead if available)
  • Recent implementations and changes
  • Open files and active work
  • Key technical decisions
  • Next planned steps

Step 2: Write Context File

Create/update .claude/context.md with the full context in a structured format:

# Context Summary
## Current Status
- **Project**: [project name]
- **Phase**: [current phase]
- **Task**: [active task]
## Completed Work
[List what's been done]
## Active Todos
[Current todo items with status]
## Technical Context
- **Open Files**: [files being edited]
- **Recent Changes**: [what was changed]
- **Key Decisions**: [important choices made]
## Next Steps
[What needs to be done next]

Step 3: Provide Simple Compact Command

Output:

/compact Review context and continue work @.claude/context.md

This way:

  1. Context is automatically saved to a file
  2. User runs one simple command that references the file
  3. Context is preserved across compacts $ARGUMENTS
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.
