Prompt Compression Skill

Capabilities

  • Implement token-efficient prompt compression
  • Design context pruning strategies
  • Configure selective context inclusion
  • Implement LLMLingua-style compression
  • Design summary-based compression
  • Create compression quality metrics

Target Processes

  • cost-optimization-llm
  • agent-performance-optimization

Implementation Details

Compression Techniques

1. **LLMLingua**: Token-level compression 2. **Summary Compression**: LLM-based summarization 3. **Selective Context**: Relevant section extraction 4. **Token Pruning**: Remove low-importance tokens 5. **Document Filtering**: Pre-retrieval filtering

Configuration Options

  • Compression ratio targets
  • Quality threshold settings
  • Token budget constraints
  • Compression model selection
  • Evaluation metrics

Best Practices

  • Monitor quality vs compression tradeoff
  • Test with representative prompts
  • Set appropriate compression ratios
  • Validate compressed prompt quality
  • Track cost savings

Dependencies

  • llmlingua (optional)
  • tiktoken
  • transformers

Questions about prompt-compression.

Which coding agents can use prompt-compression?
prompt-compression installs in Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot, OpenCode and Windsurf with the skills CLI, using each agent's flag shown on this page. Flowy's auto-invocation, which fires a skill when your prompt matches, runs in Claude Code only.
