Good Times to Compact
- •✅ After completing a feature/task
- •✅ Before starting new unrelated work
- •✅ After successful verification
- •✅ At natural conversation breaks
Bad Times to Compact
- •❌ Mid-debugging session
- •❌ During multi-file refactoring
- •❌ When tracking complex state
Pre-Compaction Workflow
- •State Capture - Save current task context
- •Save State - Write to pre-compact-state.yaml
- •Generate Summary - Create session summary
- •Execute Compaction - /compact --preserve-state
Post-Compaction Recovery
bash
/resume --from-compact
Loads pre-compact-state.yaml and restores context.
