research-context-compressor

Build a compact, machine-readable workspace memory at the project root under .research/. Other research-hub skills (project-orienter, literature-triage-matrix, paper-memory-builder) read these files instead of rescanning the repo every session, which is where the token savings come from.

This is the foundation skill. Run it once per project and refresh when the project's research question, datasets, or experiment set changes.

When to use

Trigger phrases:

• "Compress this project context for future agents."
• "Create a research manifest so future sessions don't reread everything."
• "Save the key project context before we continue."
• "Build a .research/ folder for this repo."
