What is the hard line limit for the compressed output?

The skill enforces a non-negotiable limit of 10 lines for the final response.

How do I know if the agent used the compression correctly?

The skill requires a mandatory [COMPRESSED] marker at the start of the output, which can be checked by the hook system.

Does this skill limit what the agent can actually do?

No, it only limits the final report returned to the user or leader agent. The internal work and processing remain thorough.

What is the primary benefit of the compress-output skill?

It prevents information overload and token waste by forcing agents to provide high-signal summaries instead of long, verbose reports.

Productivity & Workflow

Streamlines agent communication by enforcing high-signal, 10-line output summaries for efficient multi-agent workflows.

The compress-output skill is a specialized utility designed to optimize the communication flow between Claude agents. By enforcing a strict protocol that mandates a maximum 10-line response, it ensures that 'Leader' agents receive only the most critical information—such as changed files, key decisions, and blockers—without unnecessary verbosity or conversational filler. This is particularly useful in complex, long-running developer workflows where token conservation and clarity are essential for maintaining context and speed.
