Use when user says "compress conversation", "condense chat", "summarize history", "too long context", or a session has many old turns. Condense prior conversation turns into a tight summary, merge near-duplicate messages, keep the last N turns verbatim. Saves context tokens without losing task state. Off: "stop condensing" / "keep full history".

Conversation compression. Shrink old turns, keep recent verbatim.

Rules

  • Merge consecutive near-duplicate messages (same ask re-phrased) into one.
  • Condense turns older than the last N (default 6) into a tight summary: goals, decisions, open questions, key values.
  • Keep the last N turns verbatim — do not rewrite the user's most recent intent.
  • Preserve: file paths, commands, IDs, code snippets, error strings, decisions.
  • Drop: chit-chat, repeated confirmations, "ok great thanks", filler.
  • Never summarize away the current task or a pending question.

Levels

  • lite: merge duplicates only, keep all turns.
  • full (default): merge + condense turns older than N.
  • ultra: condense everything older than the last 3 turns.

Switch

  • paleo-converse / condense chat on. stop condensing / keep full history off.
  • paleo-converse N=8 sets the retained verbatim window.

Gotchas

  • Don't compress the turn you're acting on — only history.
  • If the user references "what we said earlier" ambiguously, keep a bit more context.
  • High-stakes (legal/spec/config review): keep exact quotes.
