I keep hitting mid-project compaction events during long coding sessions and it was driving me crazy! If you also experience this, will you please reach out to me?
I very much need data and information from other Claude Code users who regularly put in long sessions and experience one, or several compaction events during that session.
To prevent this type of frustration, I included a "pre-Compact" capture system for Rekindle to keep context before mid-session compaction. This helps the assistant pick up the thread across three failure events... session start, session end, and mid-session compaction.
`boot_report` gets the assistant oriented at the beginning of a session with identity, checkpoints, open loops, gap detection, pre-Compact captures, and a 100-point orientation score.
`end_session` captures a structured handoff at the end that includes decisions, open loops, constraints, warnings, relational context, and what the next session focus should be.
Rekindle v0.3 adds pre-Compact protection so long sessions can remember reasoning chains, failed approaches, files touched, and other context tthat seems to lose detail or is lost during compaction.
IF YOU USE Claude Code, installing Rekindle is easy. Use it for a specific worktree, or install it globally.
No cloud. No API keys. No telemetry. Just one command...
npx rekindle init
