description	Clean and compress host-repository context by compacting completed task files, deduplicating memory/rules/debug notes, and refreshing a high-signal context summary. Use after finishing tasks, before handoff, or when context artifacts become noisy.

When to use

Use when active context has grown noisy and you need to keep only high-signal artifacts for the next session.

Workflow

1. Verify task changes first.
2. Compact a specific completed task note when needed:
   • ../commands/archive-task-context.sh "<task-name>"
3. Run full cleanup and summary refresh:
   • ../commands/clean-context.sh

Output

• task files compacted
• memory entries merged
• duplicate rules removed
• debug notes compressed
• recommended context summary refreshed

Safety rules

• Never delete durable knowledge without archiving first.
• Prefer summarization over destruction.
• Keep ../.ai/MEMORY.md short and high-value.
• Preserve traceability via ../.ai/archive/tasks/ snapshots and ../.ai/reports/ report files.
