What problem does it solve?

Context budgets in long-running sessions can swell, causing token inefficiency and cognitive drift. This skill enforces four disciplined operations to manage context: SELECT, WRITE, COMPRESS, and ISOLATE.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • SELECT: load context just-in-time to avoid reading everything.
  • WRITE: persist decisions and rationale to disk for durable handoffs.
  • COMPASS? -> no, it's COMPRESS: summarize older turns when the window tightens.
  • ISOLATE: delegate sub-work to child agents in fresh context to prevent contamination.

Quick Start

Instruct the agent to apply context-budget discipline during a long session by enabling just-in-time reads and persistent handoff writes.
