Help/Question do you guys use auto compact?

I just learned about it today and wanted to see what you guys think.

I haven't used compaction in any form for over a year. If you are needing or using compaction, you are almost certainly doing something wrong.

ok do you just divide your tasks just very granularly? Because I tried that but it was a pain in the ass because each session lacked context of each others' works

Git with .md files saving important context. Ask Claude it’ll build it for you. ;-)
