What it does
Memory Compaction is an agent skill from Kiyoraka/Project-AI-MemoryCore. MUST use when user says 'compact memory', 'compact [file]', 'check budgets', 'set budget', 'restore compaction', or before any 'save' whose target memory file exceeds its budget in compaction/compaction-policy.md.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files (for example `README.md`, `install-memory-compaction.md` and `policy-format.md`).
When your agent uses it
- User says compact memory
- Restore compaction
- Before any save whose target memory file exceeds its budget in compaction/compaction-policy.md
Example prompts
- “compact memory”
- “compact [file]”
- “check budgets”
- “/memory-compaction”
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- Snapshot
- Split Into Tiers
- Compact the Oldest Tier
- Rewrite
- Verify and Report
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit c421b55. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are markdown).
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Memory Compaction loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 58 tokens; SKILL.md has 532 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
SKILL.md
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 532 words (~1,160 tokens).
“Keep memory small without making it forget.”
