nap

A context-cleanup workflow for the Squad project that compresses and archives old agent notes, removes stale records, and cleans up unused inbox files. Context is the information an agent keeps available while working.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before work that involves many agents, when project history or .squad files become large, or after a long sprint to run a normal, deep, or preview cleanup.
Why use it?
It reduces clutter and frees space before large or long-running tasks. This helps agents focus on current project state without carrying unnecessary history.

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 3d 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.

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.
