context-compression SKILL.md skillA

This file is byte-identical to the first copy the registry indexed. Same content hash, so the same checks give both the same grade.

context-compression from yeaight7/agent-powerups is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add yeaight7/agent-powerups/context-compression@git:20260515.27306a3

Pins git:20260515.27306a3 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Use when conversation context is bloated, constraints are being forgotten, or a compact handoff is needed before continuing work.

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

# Context Compression

## When to use
Use when context approaches limits or response quality degrades (repeated mistakes, forgotten constraints, lost-in-the-middle effects) — typically after many turns of debugging or complex planning.

## Requirements / Checks
- Active session contains long stack traces, large file dumps, or multiple failed iterations.

## Workflow

1. **Diagnose bloat** — identify: redundant outputs (same file read multiple times), contradictory instructions that accumulated over turns, constraint forgetting (earlier requirements no longer respected).

2. **Draft summary** — synthesize the *current* valid state of the code or plan in 3–5 sentences.

3. **Extract anti-patterns** — list what failed and why: `"Attempted X → failed because Y"`. These are critical to prevent the next session from looping on the same mistakes.

4. **Generate handoff artifact** — write the following template to disk:

   ```markdown
   ## Goal
   [One-sentence objective]

   ## Current state
   [What is working / what is in place right now]

   ## Blocker / next step
   [The exact next action to take]

   ## Anti-patterns (do not repeat)
   - Tried X → failed because Y
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add yeaight7/agent-powerups/context-compression@sha256:5964a4017d88b2b5

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260515.27306a3, 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.
