How often should I perform context maintenance?

The recommended pattern is to perform a context check or compression every 3 to 5 tasks to maintain optimal response quality.

Is it safe to use the /clear command?

It is safe as long as you have generated a HANDOFF.md file first. This file saves the current state so you can resume work in a fresh, clean session.

How does the /compact command help?

The /compact command summarizes the current dialogue, preserving essential information while significantly reducing the token count to prevent session bloat.

Why should I reset my context before reaching 200k tokens?

Although the limit is higher, AI reasoning quality typically begins to degrade between 80-100k tokens. Resetting ensures the model stays focused and accurate.
