codex - 💡(How to fix) Fix Manual compaction [1 comments, 2 participants]

TL;DR

Implement a manual compaction button to allow users to compact context before making a prompt.

Guidance

• Consider adding a button to the IDE Extension and app that triggers compaction on demand, allowing users to control when context is compacted.
• Verify the feasibility of this feature by checking the existing compaction logic and determining how it can be exposed to the user through a manual trigger.
• Evaluate the potential impact on user experience and workflow to ensure the manual compaction feature meets the needs of users who require more control over context compaction.
• Investigate how to integrate the manual compaction button with the existing automatic compaction feature to provide a seamless user experience.

Notes

The implementation details of the manual compaction button are not specified, and the exact technical requirements may vary depending on the underlying architecture of the IDE Extension and app.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Implement a manual compaction button to provide users with more control over context compaction, as this feature is not currently available and is requested by users.
