How to work with tool results that Nyquest has parked (ids like nyq:7f3a9c). Use when a tool result contains "[nyquest digest" or "parked as nyq:", when you need exact lines from earlier command output, or when reading a large file you will not edit.
The file
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
2 rules. About 0 are common, 1 is distinctive, and 1 is very specific to this project.
≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈1
Distinctive · estimate
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
1
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Very specific: line 18
When a specific detail you need is absent, call the recall tool instead of re-running:
- Distinctive: line 22
Never edit a file from a digest.
≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.
Files
Nyquest keeps large tool results out of your context. When a result was parked you see a digest (head, every error/warning line, counts, tail) and a footer naming the parked id.
Rules:
- A log digest keeps every error and warning line, every summary line (test counts, timings), and the first and last lines verbatim; data and code digests keep the head, the tail and the shape (columns, definitions). If such a digest answers the question, answer from it directly; do not recall just to double-check. A digest marked "condensed by Nyquest" is a model-written summary: values, counts and exact wording may be missing, so recall before quoting a specific number, name or path from it.
- When a specific detail you need is absent, call the
recalltool instead of re-running:recall(id="nyq:7f3a9c", grep="TypeError|failed", context=3)to find somethingrecall(id="nyq:7f3a9c", lines="120-180")for an exact range Recall is cheaper than re-running and it works even after context compaction.
- Never edit a file from a digest. Read the file with the Read tool before Edit.
- For a large file you only need to understand, not change, prefer
digest_file(path)over Read. It returns a digest and parks the full text. list_parkedshows everything parked in this session.savingsshows what has been kept out of the context.configure(level=...)moves the 0..1 slider.- Make the savings visible. Some clients (the Claude desktop app) do not show hook messages
to the user, so when one or more results were parked during your turn, end your reply
with a single short line, for example:
Nyquest: kept ~4,100 tokens out of context this turn (2 results parked).Sum the "kept out of context" figures from the parking notes you received. Skip the line when nothing was parked, and never add more than one line per reply.

Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.
Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.

Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
