Claude Code tip: tune context compaction with /autocompact
dotey · x · 2026-09-02
A quick Claude Code tip thread: you can adjust the Auto Compact threshold directly via /autocompact auto or e.g. /autocompact 200k, or push it to 500K for longer context before compacting. Keep Auto Compact enabled (it's on by default); one user argues long contexts degrade reasoning anyway, so compacting earlier may be better.
