SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Automatically losing important context during long AI tasks due to automatic or ill-timed compaction, making it hard to maintain continuity.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Strategic timing: prompts for manual compaction at logical milestones rather than auto-trimming.
  • Context preservation: retains research context, implementation plans, and milestones across phases.
  • Guidance for workflows: suggests where to compact to minimize disruption while keeping necessary details.
  • Use Case: After exploration before execution, compact to start the next phase with a clean slate.

Quick Start

To use this skill, configure the hook and run with your current task to prompt for a manual compact at defined milestones.

Frequently Asked Questions about strategic-compact

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I prevent automatic context compaction from losing important AI workflow context?▼

To prevent automatic context compaction from losing AI workflow context, you can use a PreToolUse hook that tracks tool invocations and prompts manual compaction at logical milestones, preserving research and implementation plans.

What is strategic context compaction in long AI sessions?▼

Strategic context compaction is prompting manual context reduction at logical workflow milestones rather than auto-trimming, which retains critical task context, implementation plans, and milestones across different execution phases.

How do I configure the context compaction threshold using environment variables?▼

Configure the context compaction threshold by setting the COMPACT_THRESHOLD environment variable or modifying ~/.claude/settings.json, defaulting to 50 tool invocations with periodic reminders every 25 calls.

When should I manually compact context during an AI task workflow?▼

You should manually compact context during an AI task workflow after exploration before execution, allowing you to start the next phase with a clean slate while preserving necessary research details and milestones.

Does the PreToolUse hook work without additional dependencies for workflow context tracking?▼

Yes, the PreToolUse hook works without additional dependencies, executing the suggest-compact.sh script directly to count tool invocations and trigger manual compaction prompts based on your configured threshold.

Why does ill-timed compaction disrupt long AI tasks and how to avoid it?▼

Ill-timed compaction disrupts long AI tasks by automatically trimming context mid-phase, which you avoid by triggering manual compaction prompts at logical milestones to maintain workflow continuity.
