You can automatically archive old AI tasks and plans by compressing them into tar.gz archives. This process retains only the most recent file in each directory uncompressed, ensuring proper file management and disk space optimization.

The best way to clean up archived task directories is selective retention archiving. It compresses older files into tar.gz archives while keeping the most recent file in each directory uncompressed for easy access.

The file compression mechanism manages parent and child task hierarchies within specified archived directories. It processes these structures during archiving to maintain organizational integrity while compressing older files into tar.gz format.

You need to compress old task and plan files into tar.gz archives when your aitasks/archived/ and aiplans/archived/ directories grow too large. Regular cleanup prevents disk space bloat while safely storing older AI-generated items.

Yes, you can run an archive script to clean up both task and plan files simultaneously. The script targets both aitasks/archived/ and aiplans/archived/ directories, compressing old files and retaining only the most recent ones.

A limitation of selective retention is that only the most recent file in each directory remains uncompressed. All older AI-generated files are compressed into tar.gz archives, requiring extraction to access their full content again.
