Configure, use, or troubleshoot Headroom for local LLM-context compression with Codex, Claude Code, MCP clients, Python, TypeScript, or an OpenAI-compatible proxy. Use when the user explicitly mentions Headroom or asks to reduce coding-agent token use by compressing tool output, logs, files, JSON, or retrieved context. Do not trigger for ordinary prompt shortening or generic model-cost questions that do not involve Headroom.

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

# Headroom

Help the user choose and operate the smallest Headroom setup that matches their goal. Headroom is separate software; loading this skill does not install or start it.

## Choose the integration

Use the user's existing environment and stated goal to select one mode:

| Goal | Preferred mode |
| --- | --- |
| Compress traffic for a Codex or Claude Code session | `headroom wrap codex` or `headroom wrap claude` |
| Claude Code inside VS Code | `headroom wrap vscode-claude` |
| Another coding agent (Grok, Copilot, Aider, OpenCode, Cline, Continue, Goose, and others) | `headroom wrap <agent>`; check `headroom wrap --help` for the installed list |
| Expose on-demand compression, retrieval, and stats | MCP server via `headroom mcp install` / `headroom mcp serve` |
| Route an existing OpenAI-compatible client without code changes | Local proxy on `127.0.0.1:8787` |
| Compress inside Python code | Python `compress()` API |
| Use the TypeScript SDK | TypeScript package plus a running Headroom proxy |
| Keep Headroom available across restarts | `headroom deploy` or a requested `headroom install` preset |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add ahmadhammoud56/moaa/headroom@sha256:aa8b09af55859471

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261014.b19aec4, 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.
