Describe the Bug
After kicking off a lengthy implementation plan using Claude and the orchestrate skill, eventually the orchestrator runs out of context and stops. It gives the option to /compact or /clear. Trying a compact produces:
❯ /compact
⎿ Error: Error during compaction: Error: Conversation too long. Press esc twice to go up a few messages and try again.
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Run mclaude
- Load the orchestration skill with /orchestration
- Tell the agent to load the implementation plan and start working on it.
Expected Behavior
If context is fully used up, compacting should work.
Screenshots
● Agent "Route-aware shortcuts modal" completed.
