Taku Compact - Context-Control Habit

Use /taku-compact to compress active work into a recoverable brief. It is a bonus utility skill, not a seventh Taku phase.

Rule labels: [IRON LAW] means a non-negotiable correctness constraint. [GUIDANCE] means a strong default that may adapt when context justifies it.

Compact preserves current task state. Reflect preserves long-term learnings. Never write .taku/learnings from this skill. You may list reflect_candidates, but /taku-reflect is the only path that can promote them after user approval. A reflect_candidates entry is not a recorded learning and must never be worded as one.

Host Boundary

This skill does not control the host transcript, context window, message slicing, archive behavior, or clear behavior. It creates a handoff brief from available evidence. Do not claim that tool calls, tool results, or transcript events were compacted.
