PreCompact

PreCompact is a hook for Claude Code from hehee9/codex-compressor. Its token cost is not measured, scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A hook that runs a Python script before Codex automatically or manually compacts its context, meaning it shortens older conversation details.

In plain words
What is it for?
Saving rollover checkpoints before automatic and manual context compaction.
Why use it?
It gives codex-compressor a chance to save checkpoint information before conversation details are condensed.

Hook for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: PreCompact hook event.

One of 4 entries in hooks.json upstream. Installing this one merges just its entry into your config; the other 3 are separate, each on its own page.

Good fit Saving rollover checkpoints before automatic and manual context compaction.

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 1mo 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.
