How does this skill track my progress?

It uses a PreToolUse hook to count the number of 'Edit' and 'Write' commands performed in the current session and alerts you when a threshold is reached.

Does this work with any Claude Code session?

Yes, once configured in your settings.json hooks, it will monitor your session and provide suggestions whenever you use file-editing tools.

Can I change when the suggestion appears?

Yes, you can set the COMPACT_THRESHOLD environment variable to adjust the number of tool calls before the first reminder is triggered.

Why use manual compaction instead of auto-compaction?

Auto-compaction triggers at arbitrary token limits, often losing vital context mid-task. Strategic manual compaction allows you to clear memory only when a logical milestone is reached.

Will this automatically clear my context?

No, it only provides a suggestion. You retain full control over when to execute the /compact command based on your current project state.

生产力与工作流

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

The Strategic Compact skill enhances long-form coding sessions by providing intelligent reminders to clear unnecessary context. Instead of relying on Claude's default auto-compaction which can occur mid-task and cause significant context loss, this skill monitors tool usage and suggests the /compact command at strategic milestones, such as after planning or debugging. This ensures the AI maintains a clear understanding of the current implementation phase while minimizing token overhead and preventing the loss of critical project details during complex operations.
