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:

1. Compose your full work report internally (do NOT output it)
2. Compress it to 10 lines max using the format below
3. Return ONLY the compressed output as your final message

Output Format

[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

1. 10 lines max — hard limit, never exceed 10 lines. Shorter is better.
2. Signal over completeness — one critical insight beats ten routine details
3. Changed files as evidence — file names, not code snippets
4. Decisions over actions — "chose X over Y because Z" beats "edited A, B, C"
5. Blockers are priority 1 — if something blocks the next agent, lead with it
6. 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
