forge-compactlisted

This skill should be used to shrink the recurring token cost of a Context Forge Methodology project — phrases like "forge-compact", "compact the context", "the context files are too big", "reduce token usage", "trim the context files", "generate the digest", or "make resume cheaper". It measures every context file against its soft budget, compresses over-budget files with user approval (never dropping facts), rotates tracker history, and (re)generates the compact context-digest.md used for tiered loading.

# forge-compact Bring the project's recurring context cost back under budget. The six files plus the entry point and digest are what every session pays to load; this skill is the guided maintenance pass that keeps that price low. Budgets, tiers, and the digest contract are defined canonically in `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/forge-resume/references/token-economy.md` — read it first. ## Argument Text after the command targets specific files (e.g. `/forge-compact the tracker` or `/forge-compact generate the digest`) — measure everything (step 1) but treat only the target in steps 2–3. No argument → full pass. ## 1. Measure Run the measurement (read-only) and compare against the canonical budgets: ```bash for f in CLAUDE.md AGENTS.md context/*.md; do [ -f "$f" ] && printf '%-34s %6s bytes ~%5s tok\n' "$f" "$(wc -c <"$f")" "$(( $(wc -c <"$f") / 4 ))" done ``` Report a table to the user: file, size, budget, verdict (OK / over). Include the estimated **per-session saving** the compact pass would deliver (sum of the overages, plus the digest saving below if the project has no digest yet). The measurement can be delegated to the `forge-archivist` agent; the compression judgment in step 2 cannot. ## 2. Propose, then compress (approval required per file) Never trim meaning: compression rewrites for density — it does not drop facts, invariants, decisions, or scope statements without explicit user approval. For each over-budget file, propose the appropriate treatment and appl
