Memory-Aware Session Compact

Trigger pi's native compaction system which automatically:

1. Saves a daily log entry and session state (via the memory-cycle extension hook)
2. Summarizes old messages to reclaim context tokens
3. Injects restoration context so work continues seamlessly

Instructions

This command triggers pi's built-in compaction. You do NOT need to manually write files or introspect the session — the session_before_compact hook in the memory-cycle extension handles all persistence automatically.

What to do

1. Tell the user: "Triggering memory-aware compaction..."
2. Call the cycle_memory tool if available, OR simply inform the user to use /cycle for a full session reset
3. If the user wants a quick compact without session reset, they should use pi's built-in /compact directly (Ctrl+Shift+C or the pi command)

When to use this

• Context is getting large (>70%)
• Before switching to a very different task
• When the agent suggests compaction is needed

Difference from /cycle

• /compact — Summarizes old messages in-place, keeps the same session (pi's native behavior)
• /cycle — Full reset: compact → new session → restore memory (fresh start)

Both automatically save daily logs and session state via the memory-cycle extension.

Output

Memory-aware compaction triggered.

Daily log and session state will be saved automatically.
Context will be summarized and reclaimed.

For a full session reset with fresh context: /cycle
