PreCompact

PreCompact is a hook for coding agents from atuljha23/holocron. Its token cost is not measured, scanned A, original, MIT.

A hook that runs before the agent's conversation context is shortened to fit available space. It saves open work and unfinished rule drafts before that happens.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to preserve unfinished threads and rule drafts before context compaction.
Why use it?
It reduces the chance of losing track of ongoing tasks or partially written guidance when a long session is compacted.

Hook

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

Part of the holocron plugin — 11 skills, 24 commands, 14 agents, 6 hooks shipped together

One of 6 entries in hooks.json — they are configured in one file and arrive together.

Getting it into your agent

This one installs as part of its plugin. Adding the marketplace and installing the plugin brings it with everything else the plugin ships.

Claude Code
/plugin marketplace add atuljha23/holocron
Claude Code
/plugin install holocron

Or install holocron, the plugin that ships this one along with the rest of its 11 skills, 24 commands, 14 agents, 6 hooks.

Security

Grade A, and why

PreCompact 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 4d ago.

A static scan of the commands this hook runs, not an audit. A hook is shell that executes on your machine at the event it names, which is why every command in it is printed with what was found.

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 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.
