Raw Blame History

Compaction

OpenClaw's compaction feature manages context window limitations by summarizing older conversation history while preserving recent messages.

What Compaction Does

Compaction summarizes older conversation into a compact summary entry and keeps recent messages intact. The summaries remain stored in session history for future reference.

Two Compaction Types

Auto-compaction

Triggers automatically when sessions approach or exceed the model's context limits. Users see a "Auto-compaction complete" notification in verbose mode.

Manual compaction

Initiated via the /compact command, optionally with custom instructions like "Focus on decisions and open questions."

Compaction vs Session Pruning

Feature	Compaction	Session Pruning
Action	Summarizes and persists in JSONL	Trims old tool results only
Scope	Full conversation history	In-memory, per request
Persistence	Permanent	Temporary

Practical Guidance

Use /compact when sessions feel outdated or context becomes bloated
Use /new or /reset when starting fresh sessions is preferred
