What problem does it solve?
It prevents long autonomous agent sessions from losing critical progress when context compaction happens, so the work can continue without relying on fragile chat history.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Durable State Tracking: Records goals, phase, decisions, evidence, and next steps in a stable file so important context survives session boundaries.
- Compaction-Ready Workflow: Guides the agent to stabilize work before transitions between research, planning, implementation, testing, and debugging.
- Autonomous Session Recovery: Helps long-running tasks resume cleanly after interruptions, context pressure, or strategy changes.
- Use Case: A developer is midway through a multi-step refactor and the session is nearing its context limit; this skill keeps the plan, progress, and verification notes preserved so the agent can pick up immediately after compaction.
Quick Start
Use the strategic-compact skill to keep your current goal, phase, evidence, and next steps written into a durable session log before any likely compaction boundary.
