Can I change when the suggestions appear?

Yes, you can configure the COMPACT_THRESHOLD environment variable (default is 50 tool calls) to control when the first suggestion appears.

How does this differ from Claude's built-in auto-compaction?

Auto-compaction happens at arbitrary token limits, often losing context mid-task. This skill suggests manual compaction at logical stopping points to ensure you don't lose the plan you're currently executing.

Why is it better to compact after planning?

Compacting after a plan is finalized clears the 'brainstorming' history while keeping the final instructions, providing a fresh start for the implementation phase with maximum token efficiency.

Does this skill automatically compact my session for me?

No, the skill only provides a reminder. You decide whether to run the /compact command based on your current progress and needs.

生産性とワークフロー

Optimizes context management by suggesting manual compaction at logical task boundaries instead of arbitrary intervals.

The Strategic Compact skill enhances the Claude Code experience by providing intelligent reminders to use the /compact command. Instead of relying on standard auto-compaction which might trigger mid-task and cause the loss of critical context, this skill tracks tool invocations and suggests manual cleanup at logical transition points—such as after finishing a research phase or completing a milestone. This ensures that the developer maintains control over the token window, preserving necessary implementation plans while clearing out transient debugging or exploration data to keep the model focused and efficient.
