Forget /compact: Offload Agent Context to memory.md and Rebuild Sessions Automatically
PaxUX · reddit · 2026-09-26
A Reddit post proposes a new approach to coding-agent context management: instead of just compressing with /compact, dump live context into a memory.md file, then let an AI layer check each request against current context and reload relevant memory automatically — effectively automatic session management that rebuilds only the most relevant context, sparing users from manually juggling sessions.
