# Claude Compaction Restore

Compaction keeps facts and loses connections. After a compaction you still know file names, row ids and
decisions as items. What you lose is the web between them: why a file matters, what depends on what, which
decision produced which artifact, what you were about to do next, and how this window relates to the ones
before it. Seats whose value is a wide, long-running picture (planners, orchestrators, reviewers holding a
standard) lose the most.

This skill keeps that picture alive across compactions. Before compacting, you write a **restore map**: a
short summary plus the connections between things that already exist on disk. After compacting, you
re-enter the world, read your own map, and rebuild the picture before acting. Over several compactions the
maps chain into one continuous record: a global context window that outlives any single session.
