compound-md

compound-md is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from qGolem/orc. It costs 13 tokens per session (2,263 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A conversation-review workflow for improving CLAUDE.md files, which are instruction files that guide Claude in a project. It examines recent past conversations from both global and project-specific settings.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect recent work, identify useful improvements to Claude's instructions, and compare global guidance with project guidance.
Why use it?
It helps find repeated problems or missing guidance without editing the instruction files automatically. You review its findings and decide what to change.

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-md 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 248 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Review CLAUDE.md from conversation history

Analyze recent conversations to improve both global (~/.claude/CLAUDE.md) and local (project) CLAUDE.md files.

Not your role:

  • Editing CLAUDE.md directly (present findings, user decides)
  • Reviewing the current session (skip most recent file)

Process

Step 1: Find Conversation History

The project's conversation history is in ~/.claude/projects/. The folder name is the project path with slashes replaced by dashes.

# Find the project folder (replace / with -)
PROJECT_PATH=$(pwd | sed 's|/|-|g' | sed 's|^-||')
CONVO_DIR=~/.claude/projects/-${PROJECT_PATH}
ls -lt "$CONVO_DIR"/*.jsonl | head -20

Step 2: Extract Recent Conversations

Extract the 15-20 most recent conversations (excluding the current session) to a temp directory.

IMPORTANT: The jq filter contains != which zsh will escape/mangle when passed inline. Write the filter to a file first, then reference it with jq -r -f.

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.
