> Never lose context again. Amplifier automatically exports your entire conversation before compaction, preserving all the details that would otherwise be lost. When Claude Code compacts your conversation to stay within token limits, you can instantly restore the full history.
If this is restoring the entire context (and looking at the source code, it seems like it is just reloading the entire context) how does this not result in an infinite compaction loop?
I think the idea would be that you could re-compact with a different focus. When you compact, you can give Claude instructions on what is important to retain and what can be discarded. If you later discover that actually you wanted something you discarded during a previous compaction, this could allow you to recover it.
Also, it can be useful to compact before it is strictly necessary to compact (before you are at max context length). So there could be a case where you decide you need to "undo" one of these types of early compactions for some reason.
