 /update  –  Session Compaction for CLAUDE.md 🪶
 ─────────────────────────────────────────────────
 NOTE: Operates ONLY on the project‑local  ./CLAUDE.md  
      (global ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md remains untouched).

 1.  Pre‑Check Size
    • Count lines + estimate tokens.  
    • If > 300 lines ➜ echo "⚠️  Consider pruning your local CLAUDE.md after updating".
    • Run Bash date command to get current date and retain that for the rest of these instructions.

 2.  Harvest Last 100 Messages (or all, if fewer) and file them under:
    • #CurrentFocus  –  one‑sentence emotional/theme focus  
    • #TherapyInsights  –  key reflections or breakthroughs (≤ 10)  
    • #ActionItems      –  concrete micro‑tasks (≤ 5)  
    • #PatternsAndHypotheses  –  recurring blocks / tentative causes (≤ 5)  
    • #GuidingPrinciples –  durable rules or values clarified  
    • #Background       –  1‑2 lines of essential context only  

 3.  Distill Bullets to ≤ 120 chars  
    • Past tense for #TherapyInsights  → “Challenged catastrophizing …”  
    • Imperatives for #ActionItems     → “Schedule negative visualization”  
    • Add tag refs when helpful  → “Linked #career‑meaning”

 4.  Auto‑Consolidate Before Writing
    • If > 1 entry for today  → merge.  
    • Retain only *current + previous* dated sessions.  
    • Auto‑archive sessions > 7 days old  →  memory‑archive/CLAUDE/  
    • Remove bullets marked #Deprecated > 3 days.  
    • Move completed #ActionItems → brief line in #TherapyInsights.  
    • Update Tag Index (`🔖 Index of Threads`) & each tag’s **Last Touched**.  
    • Update or create each tag’s **#RollingSummary** (2‑sentence recap).

 5.  Open *only*  ./CLAUDE.md
    • Apply consolidation from step 4.
    • Append / update TODAY’s section heading:  
      `## YYYY‑MM‑DD – [Brief Session Title]`  
    • Ensure #GuidingPrinciples stay un‑archived for **30 days** minimum.

 6.  Size Report & Deliverables
    A. Print:  `CLAUDE.md: {old_lines} → {new_lines} lines`  
    B. Output a ```diff``` block (exact file changes).  
    C. Append single‑line CHANGELOG.md entry:  
       `YYYY‑MM‑DD  meta: compacted – {main_tag}, {n} items consolidated`.

 7.  Quality Checks
    • Verify Tag Index and RollingSummaries updated.  
    • Confirm no active ActionItems lost.  
    • Scan file—should read in under 30 seconds.

 8.  Purge Chat History, retaining only:
    • This /compact instruction block  
    • Size report, diff, changelog entry.

 9.  Documentation Hygiene
    • Review system‑level CLAUDE.md guidance; sync local docs in ./docs.  
    • If CLAUDE.md still > 300 lines after compaction ➜ suggest the user prunes the local CLAUDE.md file.

 10.  Ultrathink (Critical): Insert these instructions into the end of the CLAUDE.md when updating.
    • Ultrathink often in these conversations.
    • If available use the 'sequential thinking' MCP often before replying.
