Apply a pruning prescription to the current session. Default is standard if no argument given.

When to use treat vs reload: prefer the reload skill — it does the same prune plus auto-resume in one step (/exit → new terminal opens with the pruned session). Use treat only when the user explicitly wants to stay in the current session, work in a multi-pane setup, or resume manually.

Steps

1. Diagnose first — show the user what they're working with:

   cozempic current --diagnose
   

2. Dry-run the treatment — show savings without applying:

   cozempic treat current -rx $ARGUMENTS
   

   If no argument was provided, use standard:

   cozempic treat current -rx standard
   

3. Show results — present the dry-run output including token savings (the Tokens: line). Always surface both byte and token savings.

4. Ask confirmation — use AskUserQuestion to confirm before applying.

5. Apply on confirmation:

   cozempic treat current -rx $ARGUMENTS --execute
   

6. Tell the user: "Treatment applied. A backup was created automatically. To resume with the pruned session, exit and run claude --resume. (Tip: next time, the reload skill does this in one step — /exit and a fresh terminal opens automatically.)"

Prescriptions

Rx	Strategies	Typical Savings
gentle	progress-collapse, file-history-dedup, metadata-strip	40-55%
standard	gentle + thinking-blocks, tool-output-trim, stale-reads, system-reminder-dedup	50-70%
aggressive	standard + error-retry-collapse, document-dedup, mega-block-trim, envelope-strip	70-95%

Safety

• Always dry-run first — never execute without showing the user what will change
• Backups are automatic (timestamped .bak files)
• Never touches uuid/parentUuid — conversation DAG stays intact
