Session Guard

session-guard

Use when working on complex multi-step tasks, when a session is getting long (40+ tool calls), when the agent starts ignoring rules it followed earlier, when conventions drift, when output quality seems to degrade, or after any context compaction event. Prevents long-session corruption AND context compaction amnesia through behavioral self-enforcement.

Install

Run this in your project folder. It works with Claude Code, Cursor, Codex and dozens of other agents.

$ npx skills add wshobson/agents --skill session-guard

Needs Node.js. Add -g to install for every project, or -a claude-code to skip the agent picker.

How to use Session Guard

Once it's installed, Claude reads this skill on its own whenever a request matches what it's for, so you don't have to mention it by name. In Claude Code you can also run it directly by typing /session-guard.

It contains no scripts, only instructions and reference files, so it can't run code on its own.

What the instructions cover

  1. 1Overview
  2. 2When to Use
  3. 3Health Signals
  4. 4Protocol
  5. 5Context Anchoring (anti-compaction)
  6. 6Common Mistakes
  7. 7Why This Matters
