When your conversation gets close to the model's context window, Empryo compacts it - summarizes older messages into a concise state, preserves the recent ones verbatim. The conversation continues; nothing is lost.

Compaction fires automatically at 70% of the context window. You can also run it manually:

/compact

Two strategies

Empryo tracks structured state - files touched, decisions, discoveries, tool results - as the conversation happens. When compaction fires, this state is already built. Most sessions compact in zero LLM calls.

Best for: typical coding sessions.

Switch with /compact settings or in config.

Config

{
  "compaction": {
    "strategy": "v2",
    "triggerThreshold": 0.7,
    "keepRecent": 4
  }
}
FieldDefaultWhat it does
strategy"v2""v2" or "v1"
triggerThreshold0.7Auto-compact at this fraction of context
keepRecent4Recent messages kept verbatim
maxToolResults30Rolling window of tool results (V2)
llmExtractiontrueAllow a cheap gap-fill pass (V2)

Which model compacts

Assign a cheap model in the task router:

{
  "taskRouter": {
    "compact": "google/gemini-2.5-flash"
  }
}

For V2, this model only runs the optional gap-fill. For V1, it does the whole summary.

Signals

  • Context bar shows compaction strategy + slot count.
  • Compacting spinner during an active compaction.
  • System message reports before/after context percentages.
