simplicio-compress

A writing and documentation aid that shortens prose and compresses standing project notes while preserving code, paths, URLs, and other important details.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to make replies and worker reports terser, or to compact project instructions and notes for reuse across later tasks.
Why use it?
It reduces unnecessary text and memory use without changing identifiers or the meaning needed for future work.

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

simplicio-compress 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 2d 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 — 87 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

simplicio-compress — output & memory token discipline

Two distinct surfaces, two passes:

  1. Output-side — compress the model's own PROSE (replies, reports, digests).
  2. Input-side — compress STANDING context once (memory/docs), amortized across every turn.

Both preserve every load-bearing token exactly. Credit: folds caveman (terse prose levels, byte-preserve identifiers, memory-file compaction, honest baseline) into the simplicio transform_guard safety spine. This is the standalone form of simplicio-tasks' density tiers

  • one-time standing-context compaction.

Output-side: prose levels

Pick the leanest level that still reads correctly; default full. The level applies to PROSE ONLY:

Level Use Effect
lite human-facing PR bodies, confirmations drop filler ("I will now", "let me", hedging); keep full sentences
full default normal terse technical prose
ultra worker→orchestrator reports, internal digests telegraphic fragments; articles/copulas dropped

There is NO grammar-mangling level. Terse prose is fine; mangling grammar degrades code review, confirmations, and instructions — we keep the discipline, not the gimmick.

The one inviolable rule (byte-preservation)

Code, commands, error strings, URLs, file paths, identifiers, version/numeric tokens stay EXACT — never paraphrased, reflowed, or "cleaned up". Compression rewrites the connective prose AROUND them, never them. A safety confirmation, irreversible-op warning, or order-dependent sequence is NEVER compressed (auto-clarity — see simplicio-orient).

transform_guard (zero-LLM, fail-closed) — runs on every compaction

Before accepting ANY compressed artifact, run a deterministic check with NO model tokens: extract the set of code fences, inline-code tokens (BY OCCURRENCE count, so a lost duplicate is caught), URLs, file paths, and version/numeric tokens from BEFORE and AFTER.

  • Any LOST code/URL/path/version token → HARD failure: discard the compaction, keep the original byte-identical.
  • Heading/bullet-count drift → WARNING only.
  • On hard failure, issue ONE targeted fix touching only the flagged tokens (max 2 retries); still failing → abort to original. Never ship a silently-corrupted artifact.

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.

simplicio-compress is a skill published in the GitHub repository wesleysimplicio/simplicio-loop (2 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 107 tokens to every session and 1,060 once invoked, about $0.0005 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 2026-08-31.
