This skill should be used when the user asks about "context compaction", "preserving context", "session summarization", "avoiding context loss", "pre-compaction checkpoints", "context window management", or needs guidance on documenting context before compaction occurs, managing large context windows, or recovering from context loss.
Creates checkpoints to preserve critical context before compaction occurs during long conversations.

Context compaction occurs when the conversation exceeds the context window limit. During compaction, the conversation is summarized, and detailed context can be lost. This skill provides strategies for preserving critical context before compaction.
When about to perform token-heavy operations:
When PreCompact triggers, immediately:
Create a comprehensive checkpoint with:
## Pre-Compaction Checkpoint: YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS

Before firecrawl_scrape, firecrawl_search, firecrawl_crawl:
After research:
When reading many files:
When debugging consumes tokens:
If compaction has occurred:
Use /resume-task command to automate this recovery.
The task-tracker plugin monitors context usage:
| Threshold | Action |
|---|---|
| 50% | Informational note on firecrawl ops |
| 75% | Warning with checkpoint recommendation |
| 90% | Urgent checkpoint prompt |
| PreCompact | Mandatory checkpoint creation |

Creating algorithmic art using p5.js with seeded randomness and interactive parameter exploration. Use this when users request creating art using code, generative art, algorithmic art, flow fields, or particle systems. Create original algorithmic art rather than copying existing artists' work to avoid copyright violations.
Applies Anthropic's official brand colors and typography to any sort of artifact that may benefit from having Anthropic's look-and-feel. Use it when brand colors or style guidelines, visual formatting, or company design standards apply.
Create beautiful visual art in .png and .pdf documents using design philosophy. You should use this skill when the user asks to create a poster, piece of art, design, or other static piece. Create original visual designs, never copying existing artists' work to avoid copyright violations.
