SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Manual context compression at phase boundaries to preserve important context and prevent mid-task interruptions caused by automatic compression.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Encourages compression at logical milestones (end of exploration, milestone completion, before phase transitions) to maintain continuity.
  • Provides a lightweight hook (PreToolUse) to prompt for /compact based on tool usage and phase state.
  • Reduces risk of losing context when switching tasks or handing off to next team member.

Quick Start

Describe the current phase and trigger a /compact prompt when entering a new phase boundary.

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 compression from interrupting my AI workflow?▼

Manual context compression at phase boundaries prevents automatic interruptions by prompting you to run /compact at logical milestones, preserving important task context before the system truncates it.

What is a phase boundary in AI context management?▼

A phase boundary in AI context management marks logical task transitions like exploration end, milestone completion, or phase shifts where you manually compact context to ensure continuity.

How do I trigger a manual compact prompt during development?▼

You trigger a manual compact prompt by using a PreToolUse hook that tracks tool calls and suggests /compact when usage thresholds are met or phase boundaries are reached.

Can I configure the context compression threshold?▼

Yes, you can configure the context compression threshold using the optional COMPACT_THRESHOLD environment variable to control when the hook suggests running /compact.

Why does manual context compacting matter for team handoffs?▼

Manual context compacting matters for team handoffs because it preserves critical task state and milestones, reducing the risk of losing context when switching tasks or transferring to another team member.
