Compact Guard

Protect important context through compaction cycles. Based on Claude Code internals: compaction restores max 5 files with 5K tokens each, within a 50K total budget.

Trigger

Use before /compact or when auto-compact warning appears.

Key Constants (from Claude Code source)

POST_COMPACT_MAX_FILES_TO_RESTORE = 5 — only 5 files survive

Strategy	Token Savings	When
Delegate grep/search to subagent	30-60% per search	Always for broad searches
Read only needed lines (`offset`/`limit`)	50-90% per read	Large files
Compact at task boundaries	Preserves coherence	Between logical steps
Use `/resume` for fresh start	100%	Unrelated new task
