Affaan Mustafa 261332dc50 feat: add Cursor IDE support with pre-translated configs
Add complete .cursor/ directory with rules, agents, skills, commands,
and MCP config adapted for Cursor's format. This makes ecc-universal
a truly cross-IDE package supporting Claude Code, Cursor, and OpenCode.

- 27 rule files with YAML frontmatter (description, globs, alwaysApply)
- 13 agent files with full model IDs and readonly flags
- 30 skill directories (identical Agent Skills standard, no translation)
- 31 command files (5 multi-* stubbed for missing codeagent-wrapper)
- MCP config with Cursor env interpolation syntax
- README.md and MIGRATION.md documentation
- install.sh --target cursor flag for project-scoped installation
- package.json updated with .cursor/ in files and cursor keywords

strategic-compact Suggests manual context compaction at logical intervals to preserve context through task phases rather than arbitrary auto-compaction.

Strategic Compact Skill

Suggests manual /compact at strategic points in your workflow rather than relying on arbitrary auto-compaction.

Why Strategic Compaction?

Auto-compaction triggers at arbitrary points:

  • Often mid-task, losing important context
  • No awareness of logical task boundaries
  • Can interrupt complex multi-step operations

Strategic compaction at logical boundaries:

  • After exploration, before execution - Compact research context, keep implementation plan
  • After completing a milestone - Fresh start for next phase
  • Before major context shifts - Clear exploration context before different task

How It Works

The suggest-compact.sh script runs on PreToolUse (Edit/Write) and:

  1. Tracks tool calls - Counts tool invocations in session
  2. Threshold detection - Suggests at configurable threshold (default: 50 calls)
  3. Periodic reminders - Reminds every 25 calls after threshold

Hook Setup

Add to your ~/.claude/settings.json:

{
  "hooks": {
    "PreToolUse": [{
      "matcher": "tool == \"Edit\" || tool == \"Write\"",
      "hooks": [{
        "type": "command",
        "command": "~/.claude/skills/strategic-compact/suggest-compact.sh"
      }]
    }]
  }
}

Configuration

Environment variables:

  • COMPACT_THRESHOLD - Tool calls before first suggestion (default: 50)

Best Practices

  1. Compact after planning - Once plan is finalized, compact to start fresh
  2. Compact after debugging - Clear error-resolution context before continuing
  3. Don't compact mid-implementation - Preserve context for related changes
  4. Read the suggestion - The hook tells you when, you decide if
  • The Longform Guide - Token optimization section
  • Memory persistence hooks - For state that survives compaction
