Conversation Compaction

Create a structured checkpoint summary of the conversation so far. This preserves essential information while freeing context window space.

Summary Format

Provide a structured summary with these sections:

Goal

[Primary objective of the conversation/task]

Progress

Done

• [Completed work item]

In Progress

• [Current state of ongoing work]

Key Decisions

• [What was decided and why]

Critical Context

• [Files read/modified]
• [Important data needed to continue]
• [Open questions or blockers]

Usage

When you notice the context getting lengthy or need to refocus, create a compaction summary that captures the essential state. The system will:

1. Archive older messages
2. Store your summary as context
3. Continue from the last kept messages
