How do I restore my work after compacting?

Simply start a new conversation and say 'start my session' or 'load context.' The Navigator system will detect the .active marker file and offer to restore the previous state.

Does this skill automatically clear my Claude Code chat?

No, Claude Code does not currently allow programmatic clearing of chat history. Navigator Compact prepares the state marker and guides you to manually use the /clear command or start a new session.

What information is saved in a context marker?

A marker captures a summary of the last 15 messages, a list of modified files, technical decisions made during the session, and the current progress toward the next milestone.

When is the best time to use the compact skill?

It is highly recommended when your session exceeds 50 messages, when you've finished an isolated sub-task, or when you notice the AI's responses slowing down due to context length.

Optimizes Claude Code sessions by archiving conversation history into persistent context markers to free up tokens without losing project knowledge.

소개

Navigator Compact is a specialized workflow utility designed to manage the context window limitations of Claude Code. By acting like a 'git commit' for your conversation, it captures the current state—including technical decisions, modified files, and next steps—into a permanent marker file before clearing the session history. This allows developers to maintain high performance and avoid token-limit degradation during long development sessions while ensuring that essential context can be instantly restored in a fresh conversation.
