That's interesting! You don't have cases where the main session has important planning stuff but the actual work to execute has so much crap in it that context compaction will probably dig into the important plan stuff too much and make it too lossy? Also what about the cache read costs for longer context sizes?

Using sub-agents for example also lets me decrease the default context size in Claude Code instead of running at the full 1M like:

  /autocompact 420k
or deal with Codex's 258k tokens (seriously quite tiny by modern standards).

Same idea with something like OpenCode, there I even configured custom agents for review: https://opencode.ai/docs/agents/
