Save current session state 2. Delegate continuation to a fresh subagent 3. Continue work without manual intervention ``` Skill(conserve:clear-context) ``` ## When To Use - **Proactively**: Before starting large multi-chained tasks - **Reactively**: When context warning indicates 80%+ usage - **Automatically**: Integrated into long-running workflows ## When NOT To Use - Context usage is under 50% - continue working normally - Mid-critical-operation where handoff would lose state - **Consider "Summarize from here" first** (Claude Code 2.1.32+): Before full auto-clear, try partial summarization via the message selector. This compresses older context while preserving recent work — often sufficient to relieve pressure without a full handoff. ## The Auto-Clear Pattern Since `/clear` requires user action, we achieve automatic context clearing without interruption through **subagent delegation**: ``` Main Agent (high context) ↓ Saves state to .claude/session-state.md ↓ Spawns continuation subagent (fresh context) ...
