What Add Compact Command does

Add Compact Command adds a /compact session command to manually compact conversation history in long-running Claude sessions. Use it to reduce context rot while keeping the same logical session and honoring main-group or trusted-sender access rules.

Add Compact Command is cataloged under AI Engineering on DirSkills. Add Compact Command comes from a repository tagged agent, agentic-ai, claude-code and openclaw.

Excerpt

Add /compact Command

Adds a /compact session command that compacts conversation history to fight context rot in long-running sessions. Uses the Claude Agent SDK's built-in /compact slash command — no synthetic system prompts.

Session contract: /compact keeps the same logical session alive. The SDK returns a new session ID after compaction (via the init system message), which the agent-runner forwards to the orchestrator as newSessionId. No destructive reset occurs — the agent retains summarized context.

Phase 1: Pre-flight

Check if src/session-commands.ts exists:

test -f src/session-commands.ts && echo "Already applied" || echo "Not applied"

If already applied, skip to Phase 3 (Verify).

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.
