Context Mode Output Sandbox
mksglu/context-mode
Routes large command, file, API and browser output through context-mode tools so only the needed result enters the agent's context, instead of dumping it via Bash.
Read or change compact-adviser settings for Codex - the mode (hint or off), the minimum context before a checkpoint is judged, the context budget, TypeSafe request logging, and the TypeSafe API key.

What it does
Compact Adviser is an agent skill from kunchenguid/compact-adviser. Read or change compact-adviser settings for Codex - the mode (hint or off), the minimum context before a checkpoint is judged, the context budget, TypeSafe request logging, and the TypeSafe API key. Use when the user asks about compaction advice, the /compact hint, compact-adviser status, or wants to turn the adviser on or off.
Its SKILL.md is about 510 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Agent Workflows, covering Context engineering. The repository describes itself as: "Work appears completed or recorded. Run /compact to save tokens.". The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- The user asks about compaction advice
- The /compact hint
- Compact-adviser status
- Wants to turn the adviser on
Example prompts
- “/compact-adviser”
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 28be11c. 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
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
node
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
Compact Adviser loads about 510 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 86 tokens; SKILL.md has 253 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.

- description
- Read or change compact-adviser settings for Codex - the mode (hint or off), the minimum context before a checkpoint is judged, the context budget, TypeSafe request logging, and the TypeSafe API key. Use when the user asks about compaction advice, the /compact hint, compact-adviser status, or wants to turn the adviser on or off.
compact-adviser settings
compact-adviser watches for a completed checkpoint and prints one hint to run /compact.
It cannot run /compact itself: Codex exposes no way for an outside process to do that, so
this host is hint-only and there is no automatic mode. Never claim otherwise.
How to run it
Settings live in a small CLI inside this plugin. From the directory that holds this
SKILL.md, the CLI is at ../../src/cli.ts; run it with the absolute path:
node "<this skill's directory>/../../src/cli.ts" <command>macOS or Linux and Node 22.18 or newer are required, because the CLI is TypeScript that Node strips types from and the hooks run through POSIX sh.
Commands
| Command | Effect |
|---|---|
status | Mode, minimum, budget, key source, the latest session's cooldown, and the request-log path |
hint | Advise with a hint at eligible checkpoints (the default) |
off | Stop advising; Codex's own compaction is unaffected |
threshold <tokens|default> | Save an absolute token minimum |
budget <tokens|off> | Save a context budget (off clears it): the hint floor relaxes toward this context size, or toward the model's window if that is smaller |
log <on|off> | Log each TypeSafe request and its outcome to a local jsonl file |
key set | Prompt for a TypeSafe API key and save it; the value is never printed |
key clear / key status | Remove the saved key, or report which source the key in effect came from |
key set reads the key from the terminal, so ask the user to run that one themselves rather
than passing a key on a command line. Never print, echo, or repeat a key value.

When should I use Compact Adviser?
Compact Adviser fits situations like: the user asks about compaction advice; the /compact hint; compact-adviser status; wants to turn the adviser on.
How do I install Compact Adviser in Claude Code?
Run `npx skills add kunchenguid/compact-adviser --skill compact-adviser -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (packages/codex-plugin/skills/compact-adviser in kunchenguid/compact-adviser) into .claude/skills/compact-adviser in your project.
