compound

compound is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from garagon/nanostack. It costs 39 tokens per session (2,058 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A command that records lessons from a completed sprint or significant bug fix in searchable project documents. A sprint is a planned batch of development work.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after shipping work, resolving a difficult bug, choosing an architecture approach, or finding a reusable development pattern.
Why use it?
It prevents useful solutions, bug findings, and architecture decisions from being forgotten or rediscovered later.

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

compound 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 205 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/compound - Knowledge Compounding

After a sprint or a significant fix, extract what you learned into structured, searchable documents. Next time the agent plans or reviews, it finds these automatically.

Telemetry preamble

Defensive telemetry init. No-op if telemetry is disabled via NANOSTACK_NO_TELEMETRY=1, ~/.nanostack/.telemetry-disabled, or if the helpers are removed.

_P="$HOME/.claude/skills/nanostack/bin/lib/skill-preamble.sh"
[ -f "$_P" ] && . "$_P" compound
unset _P

When to run

  • After /ship completes a sprint
  • After fixing a bug that took significant investigation
  • After making an architecture decision worth remembering
  • After discovering a pattern that should be reused

Process

1. Read the sprint artifacts

Resolve all sprint phase artifacts in one call:

~/.claude/skills/nanostack/bin/resolve.sh compound

The output is JSON with upstream_artifacts containing paths for think, plan, review, security, qa, and ship artifacts (only those that exist within the last 2 days). Read what's available. Focus on:

  • /review findings that were fixed (these are bugs worth documenting)
  • /security findings that were resolved (these are patterns worth remembering)
  • /think scope decisions (these are decisions worth recording)
  • /qa failures that were debugged (these are bugs with investigation trails)

Report-only ship check. Read the ship artifact's run_mode. If it is "report_only", /ship only previewed the delivery and nothing was published (no commit, no PR, no deploy). Tell the user plainly that the ship was report-only, then keep going: the investigation from /review, /security, and /qa is still worth capturing if it was non-trivial. But do not write a solution or summary that claims work was shipped or that the sprint closed. There is no shipment to record yet.

SHIP_ARTIFACT=$(~/.claude/skills/nanostack/bin/resolve.sh compound 2>/dev/null | jq -r '.upstream_artifacts.ship // empty')
SHIP_RUN_MODE=$(jq -r '.run_mode // "normal"' "$SHIP_ARTIFACT" 2>/dev/null || echo "normal")

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.

compound is a skill published in the GitHub repository garagon/nanostack (204 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 39 tokens to every session and 2,058 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. 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 2026-08-30.
