Pre-Compaction Workflow
- State Capture - Save current task context
- Save State - Write to pre-compact-state.yaml
- Generate Summary - Create session summary
- Execute Compaction - /compact --preserve-state
Post-Compaction Recovery
bash
/resume --from-compact
Loads pre-compact-state.yaml and restores context.
