I primarily use Opus for my day to day and I /clear often. 1M context sound great but it quickly degrades once you start hitting the 50% mark. I usually just /clear once I hit between 30 and 40 percent context and get much better results from the model. Compaction doesn’t really help much in my experience, starting fresh and having the model front load its context from scratch works much better IME. I have multiple skills with a pile of markdown docs organized by feature to assist in that first load by telling it where to find relevant information for the task. Works great.
