Context and direction

Use /compact to condense a long chat. Use /plan to separate research from implementation. Use /goal when a long-running task needs a durable objective after the plan is shaped.

  • /compact: Reduce active context
  • /plan: Plan multi-step work
  • /goal: Create a durable objective
