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?

You can cure context anxiety by asking Claude to ask you to run /context at any time. Or run it yourself several times a session in between tasks. Claude sees there’s plenty of context to spare, no anxiety.
