Power through to auto-compaction — stop getting "scared" near the context ceiling.
Field report: agents were stopping/handing back control as context filled, which prevents
the very auto-compaction that would refresh them and continue the task. The skill now
states it outright: stopping near the ceiling strands the task; keep producing work
until Claude Code auto-compacts, then resume from the handoff. Removed "context at the
compaction floor" from the legitimate stop-conditions list — only quota (rate-limit)
ever justifies stopping; context never does.
Non-redundant handoff cadence (throughput). The mid-turn ctx logic no longer nags for
a handoff once one was saved recently (kills the redundant 6%→3% re-saving). Cadence is
now: refresh at task boundaries, plus one velocity-timed "super close to
auto-compaction" nudge (fires once, bypasses the throttle, suppressed if already saved).
Updates surface "handoff already saved Nm ago" and a "≈N tool calls at this pace" estimate
(from per-tool-call context growth) so the agent knows it's captured and how close it is.
Context handoff-nudge held later — utilize context to the core.ctx_bands lowered so the
"context getting low" nudge fires near the ceiling (~4–8% left) instead of at 25%/40%. The
handoff is one cheap call that only needs to land before compaction, and the velocity-timed
"super close" message remains the final safety net — so the agent uses nearly all its context
before prepping a handoff, rather than slowing down early.
Added
Current time + timezone awareness. Every prompt stamp now leads with the user's local wall
clock (e.g. now Thu, Jun 18, 17:53 America/Los_Angeles) so the agent can reason about
time-of-day, scheduling, and deadlines. Labelled distinctly from quota to avoid the
clock-time/budget conflation the stamp already guards against.
Reset-aware quota guidance. Mid-task advice no longer says "descend / slow down" when the
5h window will RESET before the velocity engine projects exhaustion (or a reset is ≤10 min
away) — the real risk is running dry before the reset, not a low %. Deterministic from resets_at + projected_exhaustion; optimism requires a positive signal, so unknown burn
stays cautious.
