codex - 💡(How to fix) Fix /compcat tool not working properly, Auto-compact works [2 comments, 3 participants]

TL;DR

The /compact tool issue may be resolved by checking the command syntax and ensuring it's sent as a special command rather than a normal message.

Guidance

• Verify that the /compact command is being sent with the correct syntax and formatting to distinguish it from a normal message.
• Check the documentation for the Codex CLI version 0.124.0 to ensure that the /compact tool is supported and to find the correct usage.
• Review the uploaded thread 019db8d3-cdfd-7253-a046-53266a23a4fa for any clues on how the /compact command is being sent and received.
• Test the /compact command in a different terminal emulator or version to rule out any issues specific to pwsh 7.1.

Notes

The issue seems to be specific to the /compact tool and how it's being sent, but without more information on the exact syntax and usage, it's difficult to provide a more detailed solution.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Check the command syntax and ensure correct usage, as the issue might be due to how the /compact command is being sent rather than a problem with the tool itself.
