Observation mask

Replaces older large tool outputs with short notes; the model can retrieve the full output when needed. Batches changes to preserve the cached prefix and keeps reasoning, tool calls and recent outputs.

Install

OMD+: installed and off by default. Manage it from /mods.

OMD Core: install it, then turn it on:

$ omd install omd_observation_mask
$ omd mods enable omd_observation_mask

What it does

  • Each hidden output becomes a one-line note; the model reads one back with a recall tool.
  • Works in codex exec. /mask shows what it hid.
  • Or hide outputs only on /continue after the prompt cache likely expired; /continue --compact forces a batch.
  • Can’t be on with Programmable context.
