Cost Compact Context

Wraps getTokenOptimizer().getCompactContext() from @claude-flow/integration for cost-analysis queries. The bridge dynamically imports agentic-flow with graceful fallback: when the package isn't installed, tokensSaved is 0 and the skill exits cleanly. No MCP tool wraps getTokenOptimizer today (ADR-0002 §"Riskiest assumption"); we shell a Node one-liner instead.

Steps

1. Take the query — the single argument.

2. Invoke — run from anywhere under v3/ so @claude-flow/integration resolves:

   ( cd v3 && node ../plugins/ruflo-cost-tracker/scripts/compact.mjs "<QUERY>" )

   The script imports @claude-flow/integration/token-optimizer (canonical export — not dist/token-optimizer.js, which would double the .js extension via Node's ./* exports rule), calls getCompactContext(query), and prints a markdown summary plus a JSON line via COMPACT_QUIET=1.

3. Report — markdown table with: memories retrieved, tokens saved (bridge-reported), agentic-flow availability, cache hit rate. The script also emits a "bridge-reported, not measured against a no-RAG baseline" disclaimer. On bridge-unavailable: prints "agentic-flow not installed — bridge returns inert results." and exits cleanly.

Caveats — claimed upstream, not yet verified

CLAUDE.md root claims ReasoningBank retrieval: -32% tokens. The bridge's tokensSaved is query_tokens − compact_prompt_tokens (token-optimizer.ts:141–143) — a heuristic, not a baseline-measured saving. token-optimizer.ts:9–10 itself says: "No fabricated metrics are reported — all stats reflect real measurements". This skill carries that disclaimer forward.

Booster-specific availability is not exposed as a getter — observable only through optimizedEdit() returning method: 'agent-booster'. The canonical Tier 1 signal is [AGENT_BOOSTER_AVAILABLE] (see cost-booster-route).

Fallback

agentic-flow not installed → getCompactContext returns {tokensSaved: 0, memories: []} (line 116–124), optimizedEdit returns {method: 'traditional'}, getOptimalConfig falls back to anti-drift defaults. Skill exits cleanly with the "not available" message.
