# recycle — Evacuate-then-Rehydrate Context Recycle ## Purpose Recycle a threadwork agent's session context safely. The agent's running session is preserved as a durable handoff memory, `/clear` is injected into the target pane, and the SessionStart hook rehydrates the fresh session from the memory on next boot. Targets one of: `boss`, `steve`, `sadie`, `kiera`, `snoopy`. The hard problem this skill solves: a naive `/clear` silently nukes whatever the agent had in flight — unsubmitted user intent, in-flight Agent sub-agents, the thread of an ongoing user conversation. This skill exists to preserve real intent before clearing. ## When to fire - **60% auto-trigger.** `~/.claude/hooks/context-budget-watch.sh` (PreToolUse) estimates context-token usage from the session transcript jsonl. At 60% of `CLAUDE_CONTEXT_BUDGET_TOKENS` (default 1,000,000), it `tmux send-keys -l` an `AUTO-RECYCLE NUDGE` block into the persistent `claude-snoopy` session. Snoopy then runs this SOP. Self-loop guarded — never recycles snoopy about snoopy. - **Manual request.** User asks an agent to recycle itself or another agent. - **Proactive.** End of a logical work block, before the next round, when drift is starting to feel like it's compounding. - **Post-compaction safety.** Per deep-research finding #638(c): if an auto-compaction has already happened in this session, a manual recycle here is safer than relying on a second compaction. Compaction is itself a drift step. ## Inputs
