PreCompact

PreCompact is a hook for coding agents from Verace-Pvt-Ltd/agentic-memory. Its token cost is not measured, scanned A, original, MIT.

A session hook that runs a Python memory-saving command before the assistant’s conversation context is shortened.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it in an agent configuration when memory.hooks provides a PreCompact command.
Why use it?
It gives the project a defined point to preserve or process memory before earlier conversation details are compacted.

Hook

Part of the agentic-memory plugin — 9 hooks, 1 MCP server shipped together

One of 9 entries in hooks.json — they are configured in one file and arrive together.

Install

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.

agentmods
npx agentmods add hooks/verace-pvt-ltd/agentic-memory/pre-compact
Clone the repo
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/Verace-Pvt-Ltd/agentic-memory

Or install agentic-memory, the plugin that ships this one along with the rest of its 9 hooks, 1 MCP server.

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 3d 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.

PreCompact is a hook published in the GitHub repository Verace-Pvt-Ltd/agentic-memory (1 stars, last pushed 21d ago), licensed MIT. Its token cost is not measured: a hook is shell that never enters the context. 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 2026-08-31.
