FAQPage Schema

How do I reduce input tokens in my memory files without losing technical content?▼

Token reduction for memory files is achieved by compressing natural language into a caveman format. This process preserves all technical content, ensuring code blocks, URLs, and file paths remain completely unaltered during compression.

How do I compress a CLAUDE.md file to save context window space?▼

Compress a CLAUDE.md file by triggering the compression command with the specific file path. The skill converts the natural language text into a caveman format, significantly reducing token usage for future sessions.

Can I recover my original memory file after compression?▼

Yes, you can recover your original memory file because the compression process automatically creates a human-readable backup. This backup is saved as FILE.original.md, allowing for easy recovery and manual editing.

Does memory file compression alter code blocks and file paths?▼

Memory file compression does not alter code blocks, URLs, or file paths. The compression mechanism specifically targets natural language text for token reduction while strictly preserving all technical content.

What is the best way to preserve technical content during token compression?▼

The best way to preserve technical content during token compression is to use a targeted format conversion that isolates natural language. This ensures code blocks and file paths remain intact while reducing overall input tokens.
