• After WebFetch → praetorian_compact(type="web_research", ...)

• After WebSearch → praetorian_compact(type="web_research", ...)

Best Practice

Check praetorian BEFORE:

• Re-exploring code you've seen before

• Researching topics you've researched before

• Starting work on a familiar project

Compact AFTER:

• WebFetch/WebSearch completes

• Subagent returns results

• Significant codebase exploration

• Making architectural decisions

Format

praetorian_restore(query?) // Load past work praetorian_compact( type: "web_research" | "task_result" | "file_reads" | "decisions", title: "<concise title>", key_insights: ["insight 1", "insight 2"], refs: ["file.ts:123"] )
