Install
Works with every agent the skills CLI supports.
npx skills add https://github.com/ruvnet/ruflo --skill cost-compact-context- 01
Install
Run the command in your project. The CLI asks which agents to install for.
- 02
Describe the task
Ask your agent for something this skill covers. It loads cost-compact-context automatically when relevant.
- 03
Review the result
The agent follows the SKILL.md steps, scripts and references bundled with the skill.

Cost Compact Context
Wraps getTokenOptimizer().getCompactContext() from @claude-flow/integration for cost-analysis queries. The bridge dynamically imports agentic-flow with graceful fallback: when the package isn't installed, tokensSaved is 0 and the skill exits cleanly. No MCP tool wraps getTokenOptimizer today (ADR-0002 §"Riskiest assumption"); we shell a Node one-liner instead.
Steps
-
Take the query — the single argument.
-
Invoke — run from anywhere under
v3/so@claude-flow/integrationresolves:( cd v3 && node ../plugins/ruflo-cost-tracker/scripts/compact.mjs "<QUERY>" )The script imports
@claude-flow/integration/token-optimizer(canonical export — notdist/token-optimizer.js, which would double the.jsextension via Node's./*exports rule), callsgetCompactContext(query), and prints a markdown summary plus a JSON line viaCOMPACT_QUIET=1. -
Report — markdown table with: memories retrieved, tokens saved (bridge-reported), agentic-flow availability, cache hit rate. The script also emits a "bridge-reported, not measured against a no-RAG baseline" disclaimer. On bridge-unavailable: prints "agentic-flow not installed — bridge returns inert results." and exits cleanly.
Caveats — claimed upstream, not yet verified
CLAUDE.md root claims ReasoningBank retrieval: -32% tokens. The bridge's tokensSaved is query_tokens − compact_prompt_tokens (token-optimizer.ts:141–143) — a heuristic, not a baseline-measured saving. token-optimizer.ts:9–10 itself says: "No fabricated metrics are reported — all stats reflect real measurements". This skill carries that disclaimer forward.
Booster-specific availability is not exposed as a getter — observable only through optimizedEdit() returning method: 'agent-booster'. The canonical Tier 1 signal is [AGENT_BOOSTER_AVAILABLE] (see cost-booster-route).
Fallback
agentic-flow not installed → getCompactContext returns {tokensSaved: 0, memories: []} (line 116–124), optimizedEdit returns {method: 'traditional'}, getOptimalConfig falls back to anti-drift defaults. Skill exits cleanly with the "not available" message.
