vicnaumby vicnaum15 days ago51

Manually trim, compact, persist, and repair Claude Code conversation sessions stored as JSONL files. Use when the user wants to: (1) fix a session hitting 'Prompt is too long' errors, (2) manually compact or strip a session to reduce context, (3) analyze a session's token usage and message chain, (4) strip tool call inputs and results from a session, (5) strip thinking blocks from a session, (6) compact part of a session before a specific message, (7) verify or repair a broken session chain, (8) persist and summarize tool results to reduce context intelligently, (9) perform any JSONL-level surgery on Claude Code sessions. Triggers on mentions of session surgery, session trimming, session stripping, context compaction, session repair, prompt too long, session compact, manual session manipulation, summarize tool results, or persist tool output.
