SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Manual context management across long-running tasks often leads to drift and loss of critical information. This skill introduces a strategy to preserve relevant context by prompting strategic, manual compaction at logical boundaries.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Tracks tool usage in a session and prompts for compaction at logical boundaries.
  • Provides configurable thresholds for initial suggestions and periodic reminders after the threshold.
  • Integrates with PreToolUse hooks to remind you when to compact without interrupting workflow.

Quick Start

Run the suggest-compact.sh script during PreToolUse to start context-compaction prompts.

Frequently Asked Questions about strategic-compact

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I prevent context drift during long-running AI sessions?▼

You can prevent context drift by prompting strategic manual compaction at logical boundaries during research, planning, and execution phases. This approach preserves task context across long-running sessions.

What is strategic compaction and how does it work with PreToolUse hooks?▼

Strategic compaction preserves task context by prompting manual context condensation at logical boundaries. It uses a PreToolUse hook integration with a tool-call counter and configurable threshold to trigger reminders.

How do I configure context management reminders for AI workflow optimization?▼

You configure context management reminders by setting a configurable threshold for initial compaction suggestions. The system then provides periodic reminders after the threshold is reached during your session.

Can I track tool usage to trigger manual context compaction automatically?▼

Yes, you can track tool usage to trigger manual compaction. The skill implements a tool-call counter that monitors your session and prompts you to compact at logical boundaries without interrupting workflow.

When should I prompt for context preservation in research and planning phases?▼

You should prompt for context preservation during exploration-to-implementation transitions. Applying strategic compaction at these logical boundaries prevents information loss across research, planning, and execution phases.

Does strategic compaction interrupt my workflow during session tracking?▼

Strategic compaction does not interrupt your workflow. It integrates with PreToolUse hooks to provide periodic reminders for manual compaction at logical boundaries without breaking your execution flow.
