You can prevent context loss in long-running sessions by prompting manual context compaction at logical milestones. This approach resets the context window before critical information degrades during multi-phase tasks.

Compact context in planning-to-implementation transitions after exploration phases to preserve the core plan. A configurable COMPACT_THRESHOLD helps determine the exact timing to reset context before moving to the next phase.

Yes, you can automate context compaction prompts using PreToolUse hooks. The hook trigger automatically suggests compaction in long sessions based on your configured threshold, removing the need to remember manual checks.

The best way to manage context in multi-phase tasks is triggering compaction at phase transitions. Prompting a manual compaction at a milestone resets context, ensuring the next phase starts with a clean and relevant state.

Threshold-based context compaction reminders depend on a configurable COMPACT_THRESHOLD, meaning they provide suggestions rather than automatic execution. Users must still manually initiate the compaction process when prompted.
