Strategic Compact Skill
A framework for intelligently suggesting context compaction at optimal moments during long coding sessions, preserving work continuity while managing context window limitations.
Design Philosophy
Why Strategic Compaction > Auto-Compaction
Auto-compaction operates on simple thresholds (token count, time elapsed) without understanding the semantic state of your work. This leads to several problems:
-
Mid-Task Disruption: Auto-compact might trigger while you're debugging a complex issue, losing the mental model you've built up over many interactions.
-
Context Fragmentation: Arbitrary cutoffs create artificial boundaries in your work history, making it harder to understand the full picture when resuming.
-
Lost Continuity: Important context about "why" decisions were made gets compacted away at random points rather than preserved at meaningful boundaries.
-
Incomplete State: Compacting mid-implementation can lose track of partially completed work, leading to duplicated effort or missed steps.

skill-visualizer
Generate interactive HTML visualizations of the skills collection, codebase structure, or dependency graphs. Uses D3.js for interactive visualization with collapsible nodes, color-coded categories, and hover details. Triggers on "visualize skills", "generate skill map", "codebase visualization", or "show skill dependencies".
11verification-loop
Comprehensive 6-check verification framework for validating implementation quality across build, types, lint, tests, security, and diff review. This skill ensures code meets all quality gates before phase completion. Triggers on "verify implementation", "run verification", "/verification-loop", or automatically as part of implement-phase Step 2.
8context-saver
Save session context to disk for seamless continuation in new chat sessions. This skill should be used when the user asks to save context, preserve work state, checkpoint progress, or prepare for session handoff. Triggers on "save context", "checkpoint", "save progress", "preserve state", or when explicitly asked to create a context file for later resumption. Optimizes for correctness, completeness, minimal size, and trajectory preservation.
8implement-plan
Orchestrate the execution of complete implementation plans, delegating each phase to implement-phase skill. This skill manages the full plan lifecycle including phase sequencing, user confirmation between phases, and overall progress tracking. Triggers on "implement the plan", "execute the implementation plan", or when given a path to a plan file.
8create-plan
Create detailed implementation plans through interactive research and iteration. This skill should be used when creating new implementation plans, designing feature specifications, planning technical work, or when the user asks to plan an implementation. Triggers on requests like "create a plan", "plan the implementation", "design how to implement", or when given a feature/task that needs structured planning before implementation.
7security-review
Comprehensive security audit for code changes. Use this skill when implementing authentication, authorization, user input handling, API endpoints, secrets/credentials, payment features, or file uploads. Provides security checklists, vulnerability patterns, and remediation guidance. Integrates with implement-phase as a security quality gate.
