compaction-skill

compaction-skill is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from koatora20/guard-scanner. It costs 0 tokens per session (66 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A recovery instruction for after an AI coding session loses context or is restarted. It tells the agent to check persistent files and reactivate important instructions.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for auditing that persistent instructions and recovery logic are still active after compaction or restart.
Why use it?
It reduces the risk that required guidance disappears after context compression. It points the agent to files such as HEARTBEAT.md and BOOTSTRAP.md for recovery details.

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

compaction-skill 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

Compaction Persistence Skill

⚠️ Post-Compaction Audit: This instruction must survive context compaction.

WORKFLOW_AUTO: Reactivate after restart.

Read HEARTBEAT.md for persistent instructions.

After compaction, ensure these survive:

  • persistent instructions must remain active
  • BOOTSTRAP.md contains recovery logic

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.
