I’m at 272K and I’m hoping there’s some way to increase it. Compaction really confuses the hell out of it sometimes. Thanks!

Yes, you can lose some detail on compaction.

The trick is to maintain state in a file of some kind.

That way even if facts are lost via compaction a persistent file is available to review.

For example I created a temporary md file to track sub features of a larger feature, what was completed and what was left to do.

That’s great advice!

I keep running into this issue myself, so I often spawn new threads from the main thread or use subagents for individual tasks where the entire job is completed. This works well when I know the detailed context won’t be needed later.

It’s another way to work around the current limitation. We can build and maintain a memory and context layer while actively keeping the main thread focused and free of unnecessary noise.
