nap

A context-cleanup process for an agent project. It compresses old agent histories, removes stale logs, archives old decisions, and cleans up abandoned inbox files.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before large parallel tasks, when history files or the .squad folder become large, or after a long sprint. It can run from the command line or the agent interface.
Why use it?
It frees space in the agent's working context after long sessions or large amounts of team activity. A dry-run option lets you inspect proposed cleanup first.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

nap 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 2d 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.

Origin

This is a copy

100% identical to nap — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

What it actually says

Skill: nap

Context hygiene — compress, prune, archive .squad/ state

What It Does

Reclaims context window budget by compressing agent histories, pruning old logs, archiving stale decisions, and cleaning orphaned inbox files.

When To Use

  • Before heavy fan-out work (many agents will spawn)
  • When history.md files exceed 15KB
  • When .squad/ total size exceeds 1MB
  • After long-running sessions or sprints

Invocation

  • CLI: squad nap / squad nap --deep / squad nap --dry-run
  • REPL: /nap / /nap --dry-run / /nap --deep

Confidence

medium — Confirmed by team vote (4-1) and initial implementation

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.
