How to avoid /compact conversation entirely.

A user discovered a method to selectively compact conversations using the /rewind command, avoiding the full /compact command. This involves setting "Auto-Compact: false" via /config, then using /rewind to select a point in history and "Summarize up to here." This approach allows Claude to compact only the desired portion of the conversation without losing focus, enabling users to continue as if no compaction occurred, with a recommendation to compact at least 1/3 of the conversation.
