Is the Compact Memory Implementation skill free?

Yes. The skill itself is free from simbajigege/book2skills. SkillProof publishes the install command and an independent test verdict at no cost.

What is the Compact Memory Implementation SkillProof Score?

9.2/10 — installs cleanly 5/5, triggers reliably 5/5, output vs. baseline 8/10, docs & honesty 5/5.

How do I install Compact Memory Implementation?

Copy the install command from this page, run it in your terminal, and restart Claude Code. Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ inside a project.

Can I use Compact Memory Implementation with Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Codex or other AI tools?

The SKILL.md format is native to Claude (Claude Code, Desktop, claude.ai). The instructions inside adapt to other assistants: Cursor rules, GitHub Copilot instructions, Windsurf rules, Custom GPTs, AGENTS.md for OpenAI Codex, and GEMINI.md for Google Gemini CLI — our conversion guides cover each, and the free converter on the tools page does the wrapping for you.

Verdict: Tested · Works
Score: 9.2/10
Tested: Jul 13, 2026
Environment: Claude Code 2.x (agent harness)
Upstream re-checked: Jul 18, 2026 · 9413161

Ran a mini design task twice: the unguided baseline gave generic 'summarize periodically' advice, while the skill-guided version specified a 70-80% token threshold, a Haiku-fork compactor pattern, an 8-field JSON summary schema, and a cross-session chaining strategy.

What Compact Memory Implementation does

Step-by-step developer guide for adding compact memory to an AI agent: when to trigger compaction, how to fork a cheaper-model compactor sub-agent, what JSON summary schema to use, and how to restore memory via system-prompt injection in later sessions. Triggers when a developer asks how to implement context compression, memory persistence, or compact memory in an agent built on the Claude Agent SDK or Anthropic API. Includes working Python code and a common-pitfalls table.

How to install Compact Memory Implementation

git clone https://github.com/simbajigege/book2skills
