Smart context compaction with state preservation. Saves critical files, task progress, and working state before compaction, restores after. Use before manual compact or when auto-compact triggers.
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 Guard Protect important context through compaction cycles. Based on Claude Code internals: compaction restores max 5 files with 5K tokens each, within a 50K total budget. ## Trigger Use before `/compact` or when auto-compact warning appears. ## Key Constants (from Claude Code source) - `POST_COMPACT_MAX_FILES_TO_RESTORE = 5` — only 5 files survive - `POST_COMPACT_TOKEN_BUDGET = 50K` — total restore budget - `POST_COMPACT_MAX_TOKENS_PER_FILE = 5K` — per-file limit - Auto-compact fires at `context_window - 13K` buffer ## Pre-Compact Checklist Before compacting, save these to memory or a scratch file: 1. **Current task** — What are you working on? One sentence. 2. **Files in progress** — Which files are being edited? (max 5 — compaction only restores 5) 3. **Decisions made** — Any architectural choices made this session 4. **Blockers** — What's preventing progress? 5. **Next steps** — What to do immediately after compact ## Strategy: Microcompact First Before full compaction, try microcompact: - Large tool results (test output, grep results) can be trimmed - File reads that are no longer relevant can be dropped …

How to install
mdr add rohitg00/pro-workflow/compact-guard@sha256:ac14353eff51868fThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260718.7f7209d, 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.
