Additional Context

This is just getting worse with each new model its a ridiculous waste of tokens, then even when it gets back to work it goes off on a destructive and incorrect path 90% of the time, waste of money completely. Plus the process of compacting seems to take forever, i thought these were supposed to be getting better, opus 4.5 was MUCH better

extent analysis

TL;DR

The issue may be resolved by adjusting the conversation settings or editing preferences to prevent excessive compacting in the Claude model.

Guidance

  • Review the conversation settings and editing preferences to see if there are any options to control or disable compacting.
  • Check if there are any specific commands or keywords that can be used to prevent compacting, such as a "do not compact" flag.
  • Consider testing the behavior with a different model version, such as Opus 4.5, which was reported to work better.
  • Investigate if the "Accept Edits" permission mode is contributing to the issue and try disabling it to see if the behavior changes.

Notes

The issue seems to be specific to the Opus model and version 4.7, and the user has reported that previous versions worked better. The compacting behavior may be related to the model's editing preferences or conversation settings.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Adjust conversation settings or editing preferences to prevent excessive compacting, as the issue seems to be model-specific and version-dependent.
