smart-compaction

Session context compaction summarizes lengthy contexts by preserving essential ADRs, active feature updates, and open tasks while trimming non-critical noise. It updates CLAUDE.md and the feature list to prepare a concise, actionable context snapshot for subsequent work.

Automatic context summarization triggers via the PreCompact hook to create a concise, decision-focused snapshot before context limits are reached. You can also invoke manual compaction on-demand using the /compact command during long sessions.

Maintaining ADRs and open tasks during context compaction involves updating CLAUDE.md and feature-list.json to reflect the current state and next steps. This ensures critical file paths and active feature decisions remain accessible after the pass.

Manual compaction via the /compact command and automatic summarization via the PreCompact hook both produce concise, audit-ready context snapshots. Manual invocation allows on-demand context summaries, while the hook operates automatically at session end or limits.

Context compaction preserves essential decisions, ADRs, and critical file paths while removing noisy details. If important paths are lost, review the updated CLAUDE.md and feature-list.json outputs to ensure active feature tracking remains accessible after the pass.

Context compaction automatically updates CLAUDE.md and the feature list to reflect current state and next steps. You should review these audit-ready outputs after the pass, then save and proceed with the new compacted context for subsequent sessions.
