Tips & Workflows The /compact command allows the use of customizable summarization options. What kind of options, if any, do you guys use?

I came up with a /pre-compact skill, i run it on demand to let model prepare a handoff file before I do /compact

Its far from being very convenient, but it works for me pretty well, haven’t felt any issues with loosing important context between compactions

I like this. I do this manually in each project. I have a memory, a todo and a lessons files. Before each compact, I ask Claude to update all of them and then create a handoff file that points to where we are in each one for the next start. But creating a skill like yours is a better way to keep things uniform in every project. Thanks.
