# /compact [focus] Compress the current conversation context to free up space, optionally focusing on a topic. > **Note**: `/compact` is a Claude Code built-in command — type it directly to trigger compression. > This skill (`/context-compress`) is documentation for the pipeline around it. ## Usage ``` /compact # Compress with default summary /compact auth module # Focus summary on authentication work /compact tests and recent fixes # Focus on testing and bug fixes ``` ## What This Does 1. **Summarizes** all prior conversation into a concise state snapshot 2. **Retains** the most important context for continuing work 3. **Focus** (optional): emphasizes the specified topic in the summary ## When to Use - Context window is filling up (> 60% used) - Switching focus to a different part of the codebase - After completing a major phase of work - Before a long implementation session ## Automatic Pre-Compact Save The `pre-compact-save.sh` hook automatically runs before compaction: - Saves git status and recently modified files to `.claude/context/pre-compact-snapshot.md` After compaction, `compact-context-reinject.sh` re-injects: - `CONTEXT_STATE.md` (current task state) - Recent git commits (last 10) - Active plan summary (first 30 lines from `.claude/context/plans/`) - The pre-compaction snapshot ## Tips - Include the file or module name in the focus: `/compact auth/jwt.py` - After compaction, CONTEXT_STATE.md is automatically re-injec
