Context bloat is prevented by compacting context manually at logical workflow boundaries. Applying compaction during phase transitions keeps the task scope focused and maintains planning clarity for the AI agent.

A PreToolUse hook for context management triggers before tool use to prune context automatically. It works alongside a local suggest-compact.sh script and environment-based thresholds to guide when compaction should occur.

To compact context at workflow boundaries, instruct your AI agent to compact context before executing a plan. You can configure a suggest-compact.sh script and environment thresholds to trigger pruning during phase transitions.

You should compact context during transitions from exploration to planning, and from planning to execution. Applying compaction at these phase boundaries maintains focused task scope and prevents context window overflow.

Yes, you can use environment-based thresholds to control compaction. These thresholds work with a PreToolUse hook and a local suggest-compact.sh script to guide automated decisions on when to prune the context.

Yes, manual context compaction works without external dependencies. The Skill relies on a PreToolUse hook, a local suggest-compact.sh script, and environment variables to manage context pruning within your existing workflow.
