strategic-compact
strategic compact
What it does
- Running long sessions that approach context limits (200K+ tokens)
- Working on multi-phase tasks (research → plan → implement → test)
- Switching between unrelated tasks within the same session
- After completing a major milestone and starting new work
- When responses slow down or become less coherent (context pressure)
- Often mid-task, losing important context
- No awareness of logical task boundaries
