Raw per-session ccmemory notes accumulate faster than they get curated. This skill folds a batch of related raw memories into ONE dense article so the index stays useful. It runs in the current session using the ccmemory MCP tools, so it is ordinary session usage. The normal path is the memory-compactor subagent, dispatched in the background so the user is never left waiting on maintenance — wave agents, dispatched once, each claiming groups from the stored compaction plan until none are left: wave times, once: Agent(subagenttype="memory-compactor", prompt="Compact memory groups from the plan.") Use this skill instead only when that agent is unavailable, or when the user explicitly asks to compact in the current session. Doing the work inline costs the session a stop-the-world read of every memory body in the batch — which is precisely why, before the agent existed, 29 of 30 project memory dirs on this machine had never been compacted at all. Fire wave agents, not one. One agent works at most agentgroups groups and stops; a backlog in the hundreds then needs dozens of sessions while ordinary use keeps adding notes, and it never converges. The stored plan and its claims exist so the
