Read or change compact-adviser settings for Codex - the mode (hint or off), the minimum context before a checkpoint is judged, the context budget, TypeSafe request logging, and the TypeSafe API key. Use when the user asks about compaction advice, the /compact hint, compact-adviser status, or wants to turn the adviser on or off.
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-adviser settings compact-adviser watches for a completed checkpoint and prints one hint to run `/compact`. It cannot run `/compact` itself: Codex exposes no way for an outside process to do that, so this host is hint-only and there is no automatic mode. Never claim otherwise. ## How to run it Settings live in a small CLI inside this plugin. From the directory that holds this `SKILL.md`, the CLI is at `../../src/cli.ts`; run it with the absolute path: ```bash node "<this skill's directory>/../../src/cli.ts" <command> ``` macOS or Linux and Node 22.18 or newer are required, because the CLI is TypeScript that Node strips types from and the hooks run through POSIX `sh`. ## Commands | Command | Effect | | --- | --- | | `status` | Mode, minimum, budget, key source, the latest session's cooldown, and the request-log path | | `hint` | Advise with a hint at eligible checkpoints (the default) | | `off` | Stop advising; Codex's own compaction is unaffected | | `threshold <tokens\|default>` | Save an absolute token minimum | …

How to install
mdr add kunchenguid/compact-adviser/compact-adviser@sha256:2799f20ceb702216The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261002.2e90535, 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.
