Why use manual compaction instead of auto-compaction?

Auto-compaction often occurs at arbitrary points, which can cause the AI to lose critical context mid-task. Strategic manual compaction ensures you refresh only when you have reached a logical milestone.

How does Strategic Compact know when to suggest a refresh?

It uses a PreToolUse hook to monitor your tool invocations, such as Edit or Write, and alerts you once a specific threshold—defaulting to 50 calls—is reached.

Can I change the frequency of the compaction reminders?

Yes, you can configure the COMPACT_THRESHOLD environment variable to increase or decrease the suggestion frequency based on your project's complexity.

Will this skill automatically clear my session context?

No, this skill only provides a suggestion via the CLI; it empowers you to decide exactly if and when to execute the /compact command.

生産性とワークフロー

Optimizes Claude Code sessions by suggesting manual context compaction at logical task boundaries to prevent information loss.

Strategic Compact is a workflow enhancement skill for Claude Code designed to replace unpredictable auto-compaction with intelligent, milestone-based context management. By tracking tool usage and providing timely suggestions, it helps developers preserve critical implementation plans and research while clearing out stale data. This approach ensures that complex multi-step operations remain coherent by allowing users to choose the exact moment to refresh their session context, such as after finalizing a plan or completing a debugging phase, leading to higher quality outputs and better token efficiency.
