compress-session

by claude-code-my-workflow

Distill the current conversation into a structured note (decisions made, open questions, file pointers with line numbers, next 1–3 actions) and save to `quality_reports/session_logs/` before auto-compression. Differs from `/checkpoint` (explicit stop-point snapshot) and from auto-compaction (which truncates rather than distills). Use when context is approaching auto-compact threshold, when a long pipeline has accumulated many decisions, or when the user says "compress", "distil this session", "before we hit auto-compact", "structured handoff before context resets".

data-management-planDraft a funder-compliant Data Management Plan (NSF DMP, NIH DMS Policy 2023, ERC, Horizon Europe) by composing the confidential-data and environment-capture primitives. Sections cover data description, formats/metadata, storage/backup, access/sharing, preservation/archiving, and roles. Use when user says "data management plan", "DMP", "DMSP", "NIH data sharing plan", "write the data plan for my grant", or when a grant proposal needs a data-management section. NOT a submission tool — produces a draft the user pastes into the funder portal (DMPTool, NIH ASSIST, Horizon Europe portal).0 installs humanizeRead-only audit of `.tex`, `.qmd`, or `.md` text for AI-voice tells — boilerplate transitions ("Moreover", "Furthermore", "It is important to note that"), AI-cliché lexicon ("delve", "navigate the complexities", "tapestry", "robust framework"), em-dash overuse, symmetric paragraph shapes, tricolon abuse, hedging stacking, "not only X but also Y" frames, and formulaic openers. Produces a report; does NOT rewrite. Use when user says "humanize", "does this sound like AI?", "check for AI tells", "de-AI this draft", "remove AI voice", "audit my prose for sycophancy", or before journal submission / posting a working paper.0 installs commitStage, commit, push, open a PR, and merge to main. Use ONLY on explicit commit intent — user says "commit", "ship it", "push this", "open a PR", "merge to main", "let's commit this", or prefixes with `/commit`. Do NOT auto-invoke on vague end-of-task phrases ("we're done", "wrap up") — those require explicit confirmation first. Runs the standard commit-PR-merge cycle; never force-pushes or skips hooks.0 installs translate-to-quartoTranslate a Beamer `.tex` lecture to a Quarto RevealJS `.qmd` mirror. Multi-phase: TikZ extraction → slide-by-slide translation → citation conversion → automatic QA parity check. Use when user says "translate to quarto", "port to revealjs", "make an html version", "convert this beamer to quarto", "mirror this lecture in qmd", or after a Beamer deck is ready for web publication. Output lands in `Quarto/`.0 installs capture-environmentSnapshot the computational environment for a replication package — detects the analysis stack (R / Stata / Python) and emits the right lockfiles (renv.lock + sessionInfo.txt, requirements.txt / environment.yml / uv.lock, Stata version + ado package list), records seeds and RNG kind, optionally writes a pinning Dockerfile, and produces a paste-ready "Computational requirements" block. Use when user says "capture the environment", "snapshot my dependencies", "pin the versions", "make a renv.lock / requirements.txt", "make this byte-reproducible", or before releasing a replication package to openICPSR / the AEA Data Editor.0 installs checkpointSave a structured state snapshot before stopping or handing off. Captures the active plan, recent decisions, file pointers (with line numbers), open questions, and the next 1–3 actions into a checkpoint file under `quality_reports/checkpoints/`. Optionally proposes `[LEARN]` entries to add to MEMORY.md. Use when user says "checkpoint", "save state", "snapshot before I stop", "where am I", "wrap up the session for handoff", or before a long break / model switch / collaborator handoff. Companion to (NOT replacement for) the narrative session-log workflow.0 installs

blast-radiusBefore and after changing anything shared — a function's return value, a signature, a schema, a label set, a config default, a constant, a file format — find every consumer and actually run them. Catches the change that looks purely additive but silently breaks a contract in a file you never opened. Use when editing shared code, adding a field/column/return element, renaming, changing units or defaults, or touching a pipeline that produces reported numbers.0 installs challengeStress-test a finding against the choices you did not make. Enumerates the discrete forks a competent analyst could have taken (measure definition, sample filter, control set, clustering level, weighting, functional form), runs the specification grid, and reports the distribution rather than a point estimate — then attacks the identifying assumption with named, computable sensitivity statistics. Use when the user says "is this robust", "challenge this result", "specification curve", "multiverse", "how sensitive is this", "what if I'd used a different measure", "stress-test my estimate", or before a result becomes a headline claim. NOT a reviewer of prose or code — it challenges the CLAIM.0 installs coauthor-briefGenerate a co-author / collaborator handoff brief for a multi-author, multi-machine project — summarizing what changed since the last brief (git delta), the current state of each artifact (manuscript, analysis, slides), open questions, how to reproduce locally, and any restricted-data access steps. Use when user says "coauthor brief", "handoff brief", "bring my coauthor up to speed", "what changed since last week", "onboard a collaborator", "write a handoff for [name]", or before sending a co-author the repo. NOT a commit or a checkpoint — it is the cross-machine, cross-person summary `meta-governance.md` only partially covers.0 installs compile-latexCompile a Beamer LaTeX slide deck with XeLaTeX (3 passes + bibtex). Use when user says "compile", "build the slides", "rebuild the PDF", "run latex", "render the tex", or asks why a `.tex` file isn't producing a PDF. Operates on `Slides/*.tex`.0 installs context-statusShow current context status and session health. Use to check how much context has been used, whether auto-compact is approaching, and what state will be preserved.0 installs audit-reproducibilityEnforce the replication-protocol.md rule by cross-checking numeric claims in a manuscript against the actual R / Stata / Python outputs. Report PASS/FAIL per claim against tolerance thresholds. Use before submission and before releasing a replication package.0 installs
