How to add /compact advice and optional auto-compact to Claude Code with Compact Adviser

Install the Compact Adviser plugin in Claude Code with function hooks enabled.

Credentials. Your TypeSafe key is saved through Claude Code settings or the environment, and checkpoint context is sent to TypeSafe for judgment.

Who it is forA developer using Claude Code on long tasks who wants compaction timed to natural break points instead of guesswork.

The problemClaude Code's context fills up during long tasks, and compacting in the middle of unfinished work can cost context that the next turn needs.

The outcomeClaude Code shows /compact-adviser settings, and the adviser hints or compacts at a settled turn depending on the mode you pick.

What you need first

  • Node 22 or newer (22.18 or newer for Codex and Grok)
  • One supported host: Pi 0.82.0 or newer, Claude Code 2.1.274 or newer, Codex CLI 0.153.0 or newer, or Grok Build 1.0.34 or newer
  • A TypeSafe API key, supplied as TYPESAFE_API_KEY in the launch environment, a cwd .env file, or saved through the host settings where supported

Steps

  1. Confirm Claude Code is version 2.1.274 or newer and Node 22 or newer is installed.
  2. Run claude plugin marketplace add kunchenguid/compact-adviser.
  3. Run claude plugin install compact-adviser@compact-adviser.
  4. Start Claude Code with CLAUDE_CODE_ENABLE_FUNCTION_HOOKS=1 claude, since the variable must be exactly 1 for the mod to load.
  5. Run /compact-adviser, save your TypeSafe key through the settings or environment, then run /compact-adviser status to check the key source.

Prompt for your agent

In Claude Code on <target machine>, add the kunchenguid/compact-adviser marketplace, install compact-adviser@compact-adviser, and start claude with CLAUDE_CODE_ENABLE_FUNCTION_HOOKS=1. Expected output: the /compact-adviser command appears and /compact-adviser status reports a key source. Verify that the environment variable is exactly 1 before reporting success.

Caveat. The README marks Claude Mod as an experimental feature, and CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_NONESSENTIAL_TRAFFIC will block the plugin's network requests.
