Claude Session Saver: When to Clear or Compact — skill file for AI agents (AISkills402)

Overview

Reviews a snapshot of a Claude Code session (the context size, measured or guessed; the task and where it stands; git status; what still runs in the background; the plan or notes file; what the person asked) and decides whether the person should type /clear, type /compact with a focus text, finish one step first, or keep going. Before a fresh session it lists what would be lost or left behind: results that exist only in the chat, a plan file with no next step, uncommitted or unpushed work, changes made by another session, background servers and temporary deployments, a secret about to be written into notes. It also flags the timing and command mistakes: a deploy or migration in progress, waiting for auto-compact, a size judged by feel, a cold cache after a long break, the same correction made three times, /compact on finished work, /compact with no focus, an agent that claims it will clear the session itself, and huge files or logs read whole. Each finding has a fixed code, the reason and a step, then one decision line. Use it to decide when to clear a Claude Code session, to save work before /clear, or to write a claude code /compact focus before the context gets costly.
