strategic-compact

Strategic context compaction at logical task boundaries instead of arbitrary auto-triggers. Suggests manual /compact at strategic points in your workflow rather than relying on arbitrary auto-compaction. Auto-compaction triggers at arbitrary points: Strategic compaction at logical boundaries: The suggest-compact.js script runs on PreToolUse (Edit/Write) and: Add to your ~/.claude/settings.json : Environment variables: Use this table to decide when to compact: Understanding what persists helps you compact with confidence: Instead of loading full skill content at session start, use a trigger table that maps keywords to skill paths. Skills load only when triggered, reducing baseline context by 50%+: Monitor what's consuming your context window: Common sources of duplicate context: - Suggests /compact at configurable thresholds (default: 50 tool calls) via PreToolUse hooks on Edit and Write operations - Provides a decision guide for when to compact across common phase transitions (research to planning, debugging to next feature, etc.) - Clarifies what persists through compaction (CLAUDE.md, TodoWrite, memory files, git state) versus what's lost (intermediate reasoning, file contents, conversation history) - Includes token optimization patterns for lazy-loading skills, monitoring context consumption, and detecting duplicate instructions across rules and skill files - Running long...
