AI overview

Baoyu says Claude Code has added idle compaction, which proactively runs /compact before the prompt cache expires to help avoid a spike in token costs on the first request after an hour away. In the post Baoyu quoted, @lydiahallie says the feature compresses long idle sessions just before the prompt cache expires, at roughly one hour. According to @lydiahallie, returning users then need only the summary reprocessed instead of the entire conversation, saving some usage.
