strategic-compact

Preserve context in long-running AI sessions by prompting manual compaction at logical boundaries. This skill monitors tool usage and phase transitions, suggesting a context cleanup when a configured threshold is crossed to maintain coherence across multi-phase tasks.

Perform manual context compaction during multi-phase tasks at key phase transitions, such as shifting from Research to Planning or Planning to Implementation. This skill uses PreToolUse hooks to emit periodic reminders, guiding you to compact at logical boundaries.

Configure context management thresholds for AI workflows by setting the COMPACT_THRESHOLD environment variable. This defines the tool usage limit that triggers the skill to prompt you for a manual session compaction, preventing arbitrary automatic context trimming.

Manual compaction cleans up context at logical phase boundaries to maintain coherence, whereas automatic context trimming arbitrarily removes data. This skill provides threshold-based prompts and phase-aware reminders to guide manual context preservation.

Trigger a manual compact at a logical session boundary by issuing a /compact command after completing a major milestone. The skill automates preservation by using configurable thresholds and PreToolUse hooks to prompt this cleanup action.

Yes, this context management skill applies to multi-phase AI-assisted tasks including research, planning, implementation, and testing. It uses phase-aware reminders to suggest compaction at key transitions, ensuring session context is preserved.
