Compact vs clear
Build-along · ~8 min at your own keyboard
/compact summarizes the conversation to reclaim space and keeps working context. /clear wipes to zero. Compact mid-task on one listing; clear before you switch to a different client. Letting auto-compact fire at a random moment means losing details you didn't choose to lose, like a comp adjustment you'll need later.
