I've been using claude-bridge [0] and pi-vcc [1] for compaction and it has been a complete life changer. I'm slowly phasing out my Anthropic use for Mistral but I've used it for months without issues.

That compactor does not use any LLM calls and you find it sufficient? I'm surprised that works well.

		It is lossless, and comes with a search tool (called pi-vss-recall). It summarises the context, but doesn't touch the full conversation history. At the end of compacted context, there is a small note that tells the LLM to use pi-vss-recall to search for a specific keyword if needed.

		I tried it out thinking it would suck, but I've been compacting this way for over 6 months now and I am not going back. Somehow, magically, it works great for me at least!
