Description

## Problem

During long development sessions, context windows fill up and we lose track of what we've accomplished and learned. We need a way to compact and preserve important context.

## Proposed Solution

Create a prompt that can be invoked when context gets full to:
- Run Amazon Q's `/compact [optional prompt]` over the current context
- Generate a meta-flywheel-changelog-ai style summary
- Preserve key insights and decisions for future reference

## Implementation Ideas

- Simple prompt that triggers context compaction
- Could use `/compact` command or ask Q to summarize key points
- Store results in a way that's easy to reference later
- Manual invocation when context window is getting full

## Success Criteria

- [ ] Easy to invoke when context is full
- [ ] Preserves important insights and decisions
- [ ] Integrates cleanly with current workflow
- [ ] Helps maintain continuity across long sessions

Research direction

The issue names no file or test; start by locating the repository's Amazon Q CLI prompt or command configuration and reviewing how `/compact` is invoked. Then determine where summaries should be stored and how manual invocation fits the current workflow. Done means the four listed success criteria are demonstrably met.
