Put the compaction question to a snapshot that drifted — route what no longer constrains unfinished work, and say what moves before moving it. In flight or done; the log is appended to, never edited or trimmed.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Compact
Every close is supposed to compact — the question in [genius-file's format](../genius-file/FILE-FORMAT.md) asked of each line, the answers routed. Snapshots drift anyway. `/reconcile` finds a snapshot over its ceiling or carrying history; **this is what fixes one** — `errata`'s moves cannot, because nothing here is wrong, it is only in the wrong file.
The concept: **the same question, the same destinations, applied where a close did not — and nothing moves before the user has seen what moves.** The format owns the question, its destinations and its tie-breaks; reading it there is the first step. What this command adds is the retroactive pass, the proposal, and the checks below.
The counts as this command was invoked — every snapshot, whole and roster excluded, against the ceiling — and both directions of the invariant: links whose target or anchor is missing, log entries nothing links, keys with prose after them. Where a policy notice shows instead (shell injection disabled), run it before proposing:
```!
python3 ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../genius-file/measure.py snapshots
python3 ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../genius-file/measure.py links
```
…Read the whole file at its exact version.
How to install
mdr add donald-ada/workinggenius/compact@sha256:d0130870f952cf3eThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261003.51d9739, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
