Eagle Compact Add

Add new rules to the compact token-saving hook.

What it does

The compact hook system rewrites verbose Bash commands using regex rules to save context window tokens. This skill helps you design, validate, and add new rules to compact-rules.json.

Command

/eagle-compact-add

Also triggers on: "add compact rules", "compact-add", "this command is too verbose", "compact this command"

Workflow

1. You tell Claude which command is too verbose (or it spots one during your session)
2. Claude proposes a rule:
   • Flag rule if truncation flags exist (-n, --limit, --max-count)
   • Pipe rule if output needs filtering (test results, build logs, lint)
3. Validates the regex pattern against sample commands
4. Shows the proposed rule for your confirmation
5. Appends the confirmed rule to compact-rules.json

Output

Proposed rule:
  terraform plan → pipe:generic  pattern: ^terraform plan\b

Confirm? [y/N]

Example

You: That terraform plan output was way too long, compact it
Claude: [proposes a pipe rule with generic filter, validates, asks to confirm]
