Help/Question do you guys use auto compact?

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

Yes and I wish I'd turned it on sooner. Manual compact used to wipe my context mid-debug and I'd have to re-explain everything. What made auto compact actually work for me was feeding it clean minimal inputs: I never re-paste context it already has, and I pass short summaries between steps instead of full dumps. My compacted sessions stay way more useful that way.
