FAQPage Schema
How do I check context usage and session health in Claude Code workflows?

You can check context usage and session health by retrieving a structured status report that parses cached metrics, locates active plans, and retrieves the latest session logs to prevent context overflow.

How do I prevent context overflow during long-running sessions?

To prevent context overflow during long-running sessions, you can monitor preservation state and compaction readiness by identifying current context usage estimates and reviewing active plan statuses.

What is the best way to track active plan status and session logs?

Tracking active plan status and session logs involves parsing cached metrics to locate active multi-step plans and retrieving the latest session logs to present a structured status report for quick assessment.

When do I need to check context preservation state for multi-step plans?

You need to check context preservation state for multi-step plans when managing long-running sessions, ensuring data safety and preventing data loss before context compaction becomes necessary.

Does context status reporting work without external dependencies?

Yes, context status reporting works without external dependencies by parsing cached workflow metrics and retrieving internal session logs to display current context usage and preservation state.

Why does my Claude Code workflow experience data loss during context compaction?

Data loss during context compaction occurs when context usage exceeds limits without visibility into preservation state, making it essential to monitor session health and active plan status continuously.
