name: context-optimization description: Optimize Hermes context usage — expand RTK coverage, prune sessions, manage memory, set up auto-prune cron. Use when token usage is high or RTK coverage is low. category: software-development metadata: version: "1.0.0"
Context Optimization Workflow
Use this skill when Adit wants to reduce token usage, optimize context, or check RTK/agent efficiency.
When to Use
- User asks about token savings, RTK coverage, or context management
- Periodic maintenance (monthly recommended)
- After noticing high session count or bloated database
Steps
1. Check Current State
bash
rtk gain # RTK token savingshermes insights # Full usage analytics (last 30 days)hermes sessions stats # Session store size
2. Prune Old Sessions
bash
# Cron sessions older than 3 days (auto-generated, safe to delete)hermes sessions prune --older-than 3 --source cron --yes# Telegram sessions older than 14 days (if needed)hermes sessions prune --older-than 14 --source telegram --yes
3. Verify RTK Enforcement
Check that CLAUDE.md contains:
- Golden Rule: always prefix with
rtk - MANDATORY section for execute_code terminal() calls
- Exception list (interactive, no-output, full-output)
If missing, patch CLAUDE.md with execute_code RTK rules.
4. Set Up Auto-Prune Cron (if not exists)
bash
# Create cron: daily at 3 AM WIBhermes sessions prune --older-than 3 --source cron --yes
Schedule: 0 3 * * * (daily 3 AM) Deliver: origin
5. Optimize Memory
- Check memory usage (% of 2,200 char limit)
- Consolidate redundant entries
- Update RTK mandate entry if changed
6. Report Summary
Present combined analysis:
- Sessions: before → after pruning
- RTK coverage: commands filtered / total terminal calls
- Memory: usage %
- Auto-prune: active/paused
Key Metrics to Track
| Metric | Target | How to Check | |
|---|---|---|---|
| RTK coverage | 100% of eligible commands | rtk gain — compare count vs hermes insights tool calls | |
| Session count | <100 (prune regularly) | hermes sessions stats | |
| Memory usage | <90% | Memory tool response | |
| Auto-prune | Active | hermes cron list |
Common Issues
- Low RTK coverage: Patch CLAUDE.md with stricter execute_code rules
- Memory at 100%: Consolidate or remove entries using memory tool replace action
- Session bloat: Run prune for cron source first (safest to delete)
- RTK name collision: Check
which rtk— should be Rust Token Kit, not Rust Type Kit
