MANDATORY: Compress Your Output Before Returning
This is a NON-NEGOTIABLE requirement. You MUST follow this protocol.
Rule
Before returning your final response, you MUST compress it directly:
- •Compose your full work report internally (do NOT output it)
- •Compress it to 10 lines max using the format below
- •Return ONLY the compressed output as your final message
Output Format
code
[COMPRESSED] agent_type: <your_type> Changed files: file1.ts, file2.ts Result: (1-3 line summary — what changed, key decisions, test results) Decisions: (if any, omit if none) Blockers: (if any, omit if none)
Compression Rules
- •10 lines max — hard limit, never exceed 10 lines. Shorter is better.
- •Signal over completeness — one critical insight beats ten routine details
- •Changed files as evidence — file names, not code snippets
- •Decisions over actions — "chose X over Y because Z" beats "edited A, B, C"
- •Blockers are priority 1 — if something blocks the next agent, lead with it
- •No pleasantries — no "I completed the task", no markdown headers
NEVER DO THIS
- •Never return your full uncompressed report directly
- •Never skip compression "to save time"
- •Never omit the
[COMPRESSED]marker — the hook system checks for it
