brace-compact

Save all session context before ending a Claude Code conversation. Seamless recovery next time.

在 Claude Code 会话结束前，自动保存所有工作上下文到文件，确保下次无缝恢复。

Pairs with /resume for seamless context recovery.

Problem

Claude Code loses conversation context when you:

• Run /compact to free up the context window
• Exit the session (restart Claude Code, load new hooks/settings)
• Session times out or disconnects
• Switch to a different project
• Call it a day and come back tomorrow

Important context — debugging conclusions, architecture decisions, environment state — gets lost. brace-compact saves it to files before the session ends. Next time, /resume brings it all back.

Claude Code 会在以下场景丢失上下文：/compact 压缩对话、退出会话、超时断连、切换项目、隔天继续。调试结论、架构决策、环境状态等重要信息都会丢失。brace-compact 在会话结束前保存到文件，下次用 /resume 恢复。

Install

claude install github:4over7/brace-compact

Also install the companion: claude install github:4over7/resume

Usage

Run before ending your session:

/brace-compact

With session notes:

/brace-compact migrating database to new schema, paused at step 3

Workflows

Compact:

Working...
  → /brace-compact          # save context
  → /compact                 # compress conversation
  → /resume                  # restore context
  → Continue working

Exit & restart:

Working...
  → /brace-compact          # save context
  → exit                     # quit Claude Code
  → claude                   # restart
  → /resume                  # restore context
  → Continue working

Next day:

Working...
  → /brace-compact paused at database migration step 3
  → exit
  ... next morning ...
  → claude
  → /resume
  → Continue from step 3

What it saves | 保存内容

File	Content
.claude/resume.md	Structured checkpoint: task state, critical context, next steps, environment
MEMORY.md	Updated project memory: decisions, debugging conclusions, pending work
Feedback memories	User corrections saved for future sessions

Companion: resume

brace-compact saves. resume restores. Install both:

claude install github:4over7/brace-compact
claude install github:4over7/resume

Design

Follows Anthropic's skill design guidelines:

• disable-model-invocation: true — only invoked manually
• allowed-tools: Read, Write, Edit, Bash, Glob, Grep
• Portable: relative paths, works in any project
• Self-contained: resume.md + MEMORY.md is enough to continue
