Manually compress session-progress entries, bypassing automatic threshold checks. Use when you want to force compression on demand.

Compress Session Progress

Determine the project name (used for file paths): a. If a
```
~/.claude/status/*/session-progress.md
```
was written earlier this session, reuse that project name. b. Else if inside a git repo with a remote, use the
```
origin
```
remote. Parse the last path component, stripping any trailing
```
.git
```
(e.g.,
```
my-lib
```
from
```
git@github.com:user/my-lib.git
```
or
```
https://github.com/user/my-lib.git
```
). c. Else use the basename of the git root (
```
git rev-parse --show-toplevel
```
). d. Else use the basename of the current working directory. e. If still ambiguous, ask the user.

Run the compressor with force mode using the Bash tool:

.venv/bin/python -c "
import sys, os
sys.path.insert(0, os.path.expanduser('~/.claude/hooks'))
from lib.compressor import compress
print(compress(project_name='<PROJECT_NAME>', force=True))
"

Replace

<PROJECT_NAME>

with the value determined in step 1.

Report the result to the user:
- If compression occurred, display the summary returned by the compressor (entries compressed, entries preserved, etc.).
- If the compressor reports nothing was eligible, display: "Nothing to compress — all N entries are active." (where N is the entry count from the summary).
- Do not treat "nothing to compress" as an error — it is a normal outcome.
