System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps manage long-running AI assistant conversations by detecting when a user has switched to a new, unrelated task, and suggesting the use of /compact to optimize token usage.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Topic Switch Detection: Identifies clear boundaries between distinct user goals or projects.
  • Context Management Suggestion: Recommends using /compact to prune irrelevant history when a new, independent task begins.
  • Use Case: In a lengthy debugging session, after the issue is resolved, the user starts planning a new feature. This Skill would suggest /compact to clear the debugging context before proceeding with the new task.

Quick Start

Use the context-hygiene skill to determine if a /compact suggestion is appropriate for the current conversation.
