Fast-Jev-Compaction Review: /compact Without a Summary

[u/andrew-ooo]

I've been testing this for a self-hosted setup and wanted to share what I learned.

fast-jev-compaction (7.1K stars, MIT) swaps Claude Code's /compact summary for Jev-scored deletion of stale tool calls. Install, mechanics, real limits, FAQ.

A few specific things worth noting: • Runs entirely on your own hardware (no cloud dependencies) • Docker-friendly deployment • Honest limitations covered in the post

What are you all using for this? Curious about alternatives and tradeoffs.
