Configure Claude Code to automatically compact conversation history when context approaches its limit, preventing hard stops and maintaining session continuity.
Configure Claude Code to automatically compact conversation history when context approaches its limit, preventing hard stops and maintaining session continuity.
When context window fills:
Compaction preserves:
Compaction discards:
Add to ~/.claude/settings.json (global) or .claude/settings.json (project):
{
"compactOnContextFull": true,
"compactThreshold": 0.85
}
compactThreshold: 0.85 = trigger compaction at 85% context usage.
To trigger manual compaction now:
/compact
Claude will summarize current context and continue with reduced token usage.
Configure hook to run before compaction for custom summary logic:
{
"PreCompact": [{
"hooks": [{
"type": "command",
"command": "bash $CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT/hooks/scripts/pre-compact.sh",
"timeout": 15
}]
}]
}
Create hooks/scripts/pre-compact.sh with custom pre-compaction logic, for example:
#!/usr/bin/env bash
# Runs before Claude compacts context. Use to save state, log context usage, etc.
echo "Compacting context at $(date)" >> ~/.claude/compact.log
To manually compact with preserved context, use:
Compact context now.
Preserve:
- Current task: [TASK]
- Active files: [FILES]
- Current errors: [ERRORS IF ANY]
Summarize everything else. Continue where we left off.
