/treat

name: treat
description: Prune bloated session with a prescription. Removes progress ticks, stale reads, duplicate content, and more.
argument-hint: "[gentle|standard|aggressive]"
disable-model-invocation: true
allowed-tools: Bash(cozempic *), AskUserQuestion

Apply a pruning prescription to the current session. Default is `standard` if no argument given.

**When to use `treat` vs `reload`:** prefer the `reload` skill — it does the same prune plus auto-resume in one step (`/exit` → new terminal opens with the pruned session). Use `treat` only when the user explicitly wants to stay in the current session, work in a multi-pane setup, or resume manually.

Steps

1. **Diagnose first** — show the user what they're working with:

   cozempic current --diagnose

2. **Dry-run the treatment** — show savings without applying:

   cozempic treat current -rx $ARGUMENTS

If no argument was provided, use `standard`:

   cozempic treat current -rx standard

3. **Show results** — present the dry-run output including token savings (the `Tokens:` line). Always surface both byte and token savings.

4. **Ask confirmation** — use AskUserQuestion to confirm before applying.

5. **Apply on confirmation**:

   cozempic treat current -rx $ARGUMENTS --execute

6. **Tell the user**: "Treatment applied. A backup was created automatically. To resume with the pruned session, exit and run `claude --resume`. (Tip: next time, the `reload` skill does this in one step — `/exit` and a fresh terminal opens automatically.)"

Prescriptions

| Rx | Strategies | Typical Savings | |----|-----------|----------------| | `gentle` | progress-collapse, file-history-dedup, metadata-strip | 40-55% | | `standard` | gentle + thinking-blocks, tool-output-trim, stale-reads, system-reminder-dedup | 50-70% | | `aggressive` | standard + error-retry-collapse, document-dedup, mega-block-trim, envelope-strip | 70-95% |

Safety

• Always dry-run first — never execute without showing the user what will change
• Backups are automatic (timestamped .bak files)
• Never touches uuid/parentUuid — conversation DAG stays intact
