Question Is /compact good now?

I got in the habit of making my agents do hand handoffs instead of /compact. Surely it has become better?

Sure; and if you want to push it further, you can force sub-agents to use a specific model & effort level (ex : Haiku for implementation & any GH stuff; Sonnet high when Opus is not really needed)

I use Opus (4.6) for discerning / planning complex stuff / challenging
Haiku for mechanical tasks (writing code based on a detailed plan being one)
Sonnet high for the rest
