ac-context-compactor

name	ac-context-compactor
description	Manage and compact context for long sessions. Use when context is filling up, creating handoff summaries, optimizing context usage, or preparing for session continuation.

AC Context Compactor

Manage context usage and create compact summaries for session continuation.

Purpose

Monitors context usage and creates compact summaries when approaching limits, enabling seamless session continuation without losing critical information.

Quick Start

from scripts.context_compactor import ContextCompactor

compactor = ContextCompactor(project_dir)
if await compactor.should_compact():
    summary = await compactor.create_compact_summary()

Context Management

Context threshold: 85%
│
├── Below 85%: Continue normally
├── At 85%: Create compact summary
└── Above 90%: Force handoff

Compaction Strategy

1. Preserve: Critical state and progress
2. Summarize: Completed features
3. Extract: Key decisions and context
4. Compress: Verbose information

Summary Structure

{
  "session_summary": {
    "features_completed": ["auth-001", "auth-002"],
    "current_feature": "api-001",
    "progress_percentage": 45.5
  },
  "key_decisions": [
    "Using JWT for auth",
    "PostgreSQL for database"
  ],
  "active_context": {
    "current_file": "src/api/routes.py",
    "current_task": "Implementing user endpoint"
  },
  "next_actions": [
    "Complete user endpoint",
    "Add authentication middleware"
  ]
}

Integration

• Used by: ac-session-manager for auto-continuation
• Triggers: ac-handoff-creator when compacting
