TL;DR

The user likely needs to request or wait for the implementation of the /compact feature in the Codex app and IDE extension.

Guidance

  • The feature request is for the /compact functionality, which is currently not available in the Codex app and IDE extension.
  • To move forward, the user could try searching for existing feature requests or issues related to /compact in the Codex project's issue tracker to see if it's already being worked on.
  • If no existing request is found, the user could create a new feature request with more details on how they envision the /compact feature working.
  • The user may also want to consider reaching out to the Codex development team directly to inquire about the status of this feature.

Notes

The provided information does not include technical details about the Codex app or IDE extension, so a specific technical solution or workaround cannot be suggested.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Since the feature is not currently available, the user will have to find alternative methods to achieve their desired outcome until the /compact feature is implemented.
