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
-
Diagnose first — show the user what they're working with:
cozempic current --diagnose -
Dry-run the treatment — show savings without applying:
cozempic treat current -rx $ARGUMENTSIf no argument was provided, use
standard:cozempic treat current -rx standard -
Show results — present the dry-run output including token savings (the
Tokens:line). Always surface both byte and token savings. -
Ask confirmation — use AskUserQuestion to confirm before applying.
-
Apply on confirmation:
cozempic treat current -rx $ARGUMENTS --execute -
Tell the user: "Treatment applied. A backup was created automatically. To resume with the pruned session, exit and run
claude --resume. (Tip: next time, thereloadskill does this in one step —/exitand 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
