PreCompact

PreCompact is a hook for Claude Code from TheSmokeDev/taskchad-os. Its token cost is not measured, scanned A, original, MIT.

A configuration for a pre-compaction hook, which is an automatic script run before an agent conversation is shortened to save context space.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it in Claude Code hook configuration to run `pre-compact-flush.py` from the project’s scripts directory before compaction.
Why use it?
It preserves or flushes important working information before context is compacted, reducing the risk of losing state.

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.

This page is one entry in a file that holds 5. Installing the file brings all of them; each is measured and scanned on its own page.

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.
