alt Hacker NewsThis is one of the advantages of pi. I made a /protect command that protects the message from compaction. I also protect skills automatically.
So for long running tasks I'll do
/protect your goal is...Replies

I'm also a fan of Pi - although, doesn't Claude code (and most other harnesses) already have "custom summarization instructions" for compaction/summarization that already allow you to do this? Or have you added on something extra?

I am curious as to how this protect works. I am currently working on a pi brain extensions and one of the commands that I will support is:
/brains inspect
that will let you inspect a session and one of the features is the ability to review a compacted message like so:

With /compact in Pi, it creates a message that you can easily review and I am curious as to how '/protect' works.
One of the features that I am working on is to make it easy for agents to retrieve the exact message/event before compaction and I am curious if /protect is a deterministic process or if it is just instructions.
