almost every day i hear people ask "when should i /compact my session" there's no easy answer because it depends on how likely your future action will need detailed context in the existing window but we have Jev now! introducing compact-adviser - an agent plugin you can use in claude and pi today to help determine whether you're likely at a task boundary that's safe to compact https://github.com/kunchenguid/compact-adviser i built a private eval set from 40 real sessions and manually labeled all the safe vs unsafe checkpoints to evaluate this, and hillclimbed the Jev prompt till it perform
