What it does

Cc Skill Strategic Compact is an agent skill from sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills. Prepare a verified checkpoint before condensing an agent conversation at a phase boundary. Use during long tasks when context is repetitive; preserves constraints, evidence, decisions and the next action.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `suggest-compact.sh`).

The repository describes itself as: AAS Core is the local, agent-first control plane for complete catalog discovery, agent-owned selection, stack validation, and planning, backed by 2,400+ agentic skills. Includes… The licence is MIT.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b84d35a. 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

    Ships script files (Shell), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • bash

    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

Cc Skill Strategic Compact loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 58 tokens; SKILL.md has 546 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~58
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k

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.

Strategic Context Checkpoints

Condense context after a verified phase, with enough durable information to resume the same task. A tool-call count is only a reminder; it cannot measure context quality or decide when compaction is safe.

When to Use

Use when exploration has finished, a tested milestone has landed, or a long conversation contains repeated or obsolete reasoning. Do not compact in the middle of an unresolved tool call, an unrecorded approval decision, or a failure whose exact evidence has not been captured.

Inputs and prerequisites

  • The user's current objective, accepted constraints and definition of done.
  • The current branch and source revision, local changes, relevant artifact paths and actual check results.
  • Running processes, pending tool calls, approvals or external blockers.
  • A host-supported context-compaction mechanism. This skill does not assume /compact exists in every client or manipulate internal context files.

Procedure

  1. Choose a phase boundary: discovery to implementation, implementation to verification, or one completed batch to the next. Preserve an unresolved failure's reproduction first.
  2. Reconcile task state with the filesystem and Git. Distinguish completed, uncommitted, planned and failed work.
  3. Produce the checkpoint below. Include exact commands, result summaries and paths needed to resume; omit copied logs and discarded hypotheses that no longer matter.
  4. Check that the next action is executable and that a new context would not repeat a merge, send a message twice, lose a constraint or overwrite unrelated work.
  5. Save only in an already authorized project artifact, or return the checkpoint in the conversation. Do not rewrite global memory or host configuration automatically.
  6. Use the client's supported compaction command if requested and available. On resumption, read the checkpoint and verify mutable state before continuing.

Worked example

For a search feature whose source PR merged while canonical synchronization is pending, preserve the source merge SHA, canonical PR number and expected generated files. Record tests as passed only for the revision actually tested. The next action is to verify the canonical PR and updated main; it is not to merge the source PR again. If a browser check still needs an unlocked desktop, keep that condition visible while continuing independent code review.

Expected outcome: the next context resumes outstanding verification, preserves unrelated local edits and does not claim publication from a source merge.

Optional stateless reminder

bash
bash skills/cc-skill-strategic-compact/suggest-compact.sh 50

The helper accepts an observed tool-call count and optional threshold (default 50), and prints a reminder at the threshold and every 25 calls after it. COMPACT_TOOL_COUNT and COMPACT_THRESHOLD can be supplied by an explicit caller adapter. It stores no counter, estimates no token usage and never performs compaction. With no count it exits quietly.

Earlier versions incremented a shared user-state counter across unrelated sessions. That counter is no longer read or written; existing custom wrappers must pass a session count explicitly. Existing state files are left untouched. This skill does not install or edit a hook.

Limitations

  • A checkpoint preserves recorded evidence, not all conversation detail. Keep primary artifacts when exact bytes matter.
  • Counts are caller-provided, bounded non-negative decimal integers; reminders are not a context-capacity measurement.
  • Branches, processes and remote checks can change after a checkpoint. Revalidate them instead of treating a summary as current truth.
  • Client context management differs. Do not simulate compaction by deleting chat databases, logs, caches or project files.
