FAQPage Schema

How do I manually compact a conversation session to prevent context rot?▼

Manual session compaction summarizes past messages to prevent context rot without resetting the conversation. You trigger it by using the /compact command within an authorized main-group or trusted-sender context.

What is context rot and when do I need to compact a session?▼

Context rot occurs when a long-running session loses coherence due to excessive message history. Session compaction is needed when conversations become lengthy and require summarizing past interactions to maintain continuity.

Can I trigger session compaction from any sender or chat group?▼

Session compaction cannot be triggered from any sender. It targets main-group or trusted-sender contexts specifically, ensuring only authorized users can initiate the /compact command via enforced admin controls.

How does the /compact command maintain session continuity?▼

The /compact command maintains session continuity by summarizing past messages rather than resetting the conversation entirely. It enforces pre-flight checks and verification hooks across the agent-runner integration.

Are there pre-flight checks before session compaction executes?▼

Pre-flight checks are enforced before session compaction executes. The skill integrates verification hooks and admin controls across the agent-runner integration to validate authorization and ensure safe context archiving.

Does manual context compaction work with QA testing workflows?▼

Manual context compaction integrates with QA testing workflows through verification hooks and admin actions. It ensures long-running test sessions stay coherent by archiving memory and summarizing past interactions without losing conversation state.
