| 2 | Conversation compression. Shrink old turns, keep recent verbatim. |

| 4 | ## Rules |
| 5 | - Merge consecutive near-duplicate messages (same ask re-phrased) into one. |
| 6 | - Condense turns older than the last N (default 6) into a tight summary: goals, decisions, open questions, key values. |
| 7 | - Keep the last N turns verbatim — do not rewrite the user's most recent intent. |
| 8 | - Preserve: file paths, commands, IDs, code snippets, error strings, decisions. |
| 9 | - Drop: chit-chat, repeated confirmations, "ok great thanks", filler. |
| 10 | - Never summarize away the current task or a pending question. |
| 11 | |
| 12 | ## Levels |
| 13 | - `lite`: merge duplicates only, keep all turns. |
| 14 | - `full` (default): merge + condense turns older than N. |
| 15 | - `ultra`: condense everything older than the last 3 turns. |
| 16 | |
| 17 | ## Switch |
| 18 | - `paleo-converse` / `condense chat` on. `stop condensing` / `keep full history` off. |
| 19 | - `paleo-converse N=8` sets the retained verbatim window. |
| 20 | |
| 21 | ## Gotchas |
| 22 | - Don't compress the turn you're acting on — only history. |
| 23 | - If the user references "what we said earlier" ambiguously, keep a bit more context. |
| 24 | - High-stakes (legal/spec/config review): keep exact quotes. |
