FAQPage Schema
How do I compact conversation history to free up context window space?▼

Selective compaction removes only the oldest N% of complete user and assistant turns. This approach ensures that your recent debugging phase or current interactions remain fully intact while summarizing the initial setup and older discussion segments.

How do I compact only the oldest part of an AI agent conversation?▼

You can compact the oldest part of an AI agent conversation by specifying a percentage of complete turns. The skill performs front-only compaction, summarizing that targeted segment while keeping the remaining recent history fully intact.

Can I guide the summary of compacted conversation history segments?▼

Yes, you can guide the summary of compacted conversation history segments by providing custom focus text. This ensures the generated summary emphasizes specific topics, such as current bug fixes, from the condensed older interactions.

What happens if there are not enough complete turns for partial compaction?▼

If there are not enough complete user and assistant turns available, the compaction process is skipped. This prevents compacting the entire conversation and ensures the operation only runs when sufficient history exists.
