v0.22.1
New feature
Notable features
- Stop hook for automatic half-clone at 80% context usage
- check-context.sh script for context monitoring
- Replaces auto-compact for context management
Full changelog
Add a Stop hook that automatically triggers /half-clone when context usage exceeds 80%. Instead of auto-compact summarizing your conversation, half-clone is deterministic and fast - it keeps your actual messages intact.
New:
scripts/check-context.sh- Stop hook script that monitors context usage- README section documenting hook setup and configuration
How it works:
- After each Claude response, the hook checks context usage from the transcript
- If over 80%, it blocks Claude from stopping and tells it to run /half-clone
- Half-clone creates a new conversation with only the later half so a new agent can continue there
Requires auto-compact disabled (/config > Auto-compact > false).
README is now 1,030 lines across 46 tips.
