strategic-compact

To prevent context loss during long AI sessions, you can use strategic compaction at logical task boundaries to preserve critical information before arbitrary auto-compaction triggers. This maintains workflow coherence across multi-phase tasks.

You should trigger manual context compaction in a multi-phase workflow when a configurable threshold of tool calls is reached. The default threshold is 50 calls, after which periodic reminders prompt you to compact at logical task boundaries.

To set up a PreToolUse hook for AI context management, you enable the hook to intercept tool calls within your session. This allows the system to track activity and prompt strategic compaction reminders when the configured threshold is met.

Your AI assistant loses important information after auto-compaction because it arbitrarily truncates context without recognizing logical task boundaries. Strategic compaction solves this by prompting manual intervention to preserve critical session data.

Yes, you can adjust the tool call threshold for session management reminders. The default is set to 50 calls, and after this threshold is reached, the system provides reminders every 25 calls to prompt strategic compaction.

Yes, strategic compaction works with research, planning, and execution workflows. It is specifically designed for multi-phase tasks where maintaining context across different stages is critical to keeping the overall workflow coherent.
