Getting the context full to the point of compaction probably means you're already dealing with a severely degraded model, the more effective approach is to work in chunks that don't come close to filling the context window

The problem is that I'm not always using it interactively. I'll give it something that I think is going to be a simple task and it turns out to be complex. It overruns the context, compacts, and the starts doing dumb things.
