Answer the operator's compaction question (can I /compact now, is everything compounded and non-stale, is anything outstanding) by re-deriving the answer rather than recalling it. Use whenever he asks whether to compact, whether the session is ready to close, whether everything is compounded, or when he re-sends "compound, compact, handoff.txt"; and unprompted before any planned compaction.

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

# Compaction check

Global. Runs in any project. The **method** here is portable; a project may add its own audit
script, and if it has one, that script runs first and this file is the part it cannot do.

Known project-specific audits, checked by existence and never assumed:
- `DEV/Learning` and `DEV/Learning/vcc-2026`:
  `DEV/Learning/vcc-2026/.venv/Scripts/python.exe DEV/Learning/vcc-2026/research/_compaction_audit.py`
  (ten checks, fails closed; that project's own `.claude/skills/compaction-check/SKILL.md` documents
  them). Do not run it outside those projects: its checks name HANDOFF, MISSION, submission rows and
  science messages, which do not exist elsewhere, and it would ERROR at step one.

## What he is actually asking

Two things, and neither is "have you been diligent":

1. Would compacting **right now lose anything**?
2. Is anything **he could act on** sitting unsaid?

Answer both, with numbers, in plain English. He keeps twelve phrasings of this in
`~/PC/Downloads/compound, compact, handoff.txt`; they reduce to: everything compounded, nothing
stale, nothing outstanding. He asks more than once in an evening because the answer must be

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add belumume/claude-skills/compaction-check@sha256:09b059be445a698f

The line at the top of this page pins the label v0.1.0, 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.
