Memory Compactor

When This Skill Activates

Claude uses this when:

• Memory entity count exceeds 60
• Token budget approaches 8,000+
• You ask about compacting or optimizing memory
• Context feels cluttered or stale

Before Running /compact

1. Check Current State

Copy./scripts/SaneMaster.rb mh        # Current entity/token count
./scripts/SaneMaster.rb mcompact  # Entities needing compaction

2. Choose Focus Instructions

3. Run with Instructions

Copy/compact keep SaneBar accessibility patterns and bug workarounds, archive general Swift tips

Smart Compact Examples

For SaneBar development:

Copy/compact keep accessibility API patterns, NSStatusItem positioning fixes, and SOP violations. Archive competitive research and general macOS tips.

For debugging session:

Copy/compact keep all error patterns and workarounds discovered. Archive exploration attempts that didn't work.

For feature work:

Copy/compact keep the feature requirements and implementation decisions. Archive research that led to dead ends.

Post-Compact Verification

Copy./scripts/SaneMaster.rb mh  # Should be < 60 entities now

Thresholds

Key Insight

The /compact command accepts natural language instructions about what to keep vs. discard. Be specific about SaneBar-relevant context to preserve.
