# Gaia Compact Gaia Compact preserves the small amount of transient context needed to resume work after compaction. Durable decisions and work belong in memory, briefs, plans, tasks, or project context; compact references those objects instead of duplicating their bodies. ## Process 1. **Collect user extras.** Preserve any specific item the user names. 2. **Classify what would be lost, by which door you came in.** After a `session-reflection`, every decision, learning, and pending already has a home, so `UNSAVED TRANSIENT CONTEXT` is empty by construction: anything you are tempted to put there names an item the reflection did not finish, and it belongs back in that table rather than in a summary that expires. Arriving standalone with unsaved decisions, learnings, milestones, or Gaia improvements, offer the `session-reflection` → `memory` flow first; if the user insists on compacting now, preserve those items explicitly under that field, labeled as not durable rather than pretending permanence. 3. **Preflight continuity.** Resolve or clearly retain approvals in flight, unpersisted brief/plan changes, verification evidence, and requested git actions. Compaction does not make them durable. 4. **Build the handoff.** Preserve only: - active objective; - exact resume point; - durable references (slugs, brief/plan/task IDs), never their bodies; - unsaved transient facts; - blockers and approvals; - active files needed to resume;
