structured-context-compressor

structured-context-compressor is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from LearnPrompt/cc-harness-skills. It costs 36 tokens per session (282 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A skill that turns a long coding-agent conversation into a detailed continuation summary. It preserves the request, user messages, files, errors, current work, and next step in nine sections.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for long coding tasks, session handoffs, and agent-to-agent continuation when the conversation is nearing its context limit.
Why use it?
Long conversations can lose important decisions and corrections when summarised too briefly. This keeps the context needed for a later session or another agent to continue accurately.

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one.

Good fit Use it for long coding tasks, session handoffs, and agent-to-agent continuation when the conversation is nearing its context limit.

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

structured-context-compressor 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 8d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/render_template.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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

Structured Context Compressor

Use this skill when a free-form summary is too lossy and you need a reliable continuation artifact.

Use It For

  • long coding conversations
  • session handoff
  • agent-to-agent continuation
  • preserving user intent under context pressure

Quick Start

Render the standard template:

python3 {baseDir}/scripts/render_template.py

Then apply the prompt in references/prompt-template.md.

Nine Sections

  1. primary request and intent
  2. key technical concepts
  3. files and code sections
  4. errors and fixes
  5. problem solving
  6. all user messages
  7. pending tasks
  8. current work
  9. next aligned step

Highest-Value Rule

Preserve all user messages or an accurate equivalent. Do not compress away the corrections that changed the direction of work.

Supporting Files

Files

What ships with it

4 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
