adaptive-compaction

adaptive-compaction is a plugin for Claude Code from Yrzhe/claude-skills. Its manifest loads nothing; the 1 skill it bundles cost 217 tokens per session together, scanned A, original, MIT.

A decision layer for coding agents that determines when to reduce conversation history, save a snapshot, or create a separate work path. It signals and controls the timing, but the user still runs the actual compaction command.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to manage long coding sessions across Claude Code, Codex, or MCP-compatible hosts. It can prune without model calls, save state with secrets removed, and adapt when a host has limited capabilities.
Why use it?
Fixed percentage limits can compact at an inconvenient time or lose useful context. This add-on weighs available space, relevance, workload, and continuity before recommending an action.

Security

Grade A, and why

adaptive-compaction 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.

  "description": "Adaptive add-on policy and recovery layer that decides WHEN a coding agent should compact, prune, snapshot, or fork -- replacing fixed-percent auto-compaction across Claude Code, Codex, and MCP-capable hosts. Deterministic 4-signal scorer (headroom/relevance/burden/continuity), zero-LLM pruning, operational state snapshots with secret redaction, host-capability-aware downgrade, and self-installing hooks.

What it installs

The manifest is a name and a version. 1 skill travel with it, and installing the plugin installs all of them — 217 tokens a session between them. Each is measured on its own page, and each can be installed alone.

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.
