| description | Install or manage claude-anchor compaction hooks. Use when user types /anchor, wants to set up better compaction, or asks to install/update/uninstall claude-anchor. |
claude-anchor Setup Skill
When the user invokes /anchor, determine what they want based on any arguments:
/anchor or /anchor install → run installation/anchor uninstall → run uninstallation/anchor status → check current state/anchor context → open or create the anchor-context.md file
Install
Run the installer script from the repo root using Bash:
CLAUDE_ANCHOR_LOCAL=1 bash install.sh
Report what was installed: hook paths, threshold percentage, and location of ~/.claude/anchor-context.md.
Uninstall
CLAUDE_ANCHOR_LOCAL=1 bash uninstall.sh
Status
Check if anchor hooks are active by reading ~/.claude/settings.json and looking for anchor-pre-compact.sh and anchor-post-compact.sh in the hooks section. Report:
- PreCompact hook: installed / not installed
- PostCompact hook: installed / not installed
- CLAUDE_AUTOCOMPACT_PCT_OVERRIDE: current value or not set
- anchor-context.md: exists / not found
Context
Open ~/.claude/anchor-context.md for editing, creating it from the template if it doesn't exist.
