VerifiedPrompt and Context Engineering

Your Claude application has been running for several conversation turns, and you notice that the model sometimes references information discussed many turns ago that is no longer relevant. You suspect context drift is causing the model to give stale content too much weight.

How would you address the drift?

Compaction replaces older conversation content with a concise summary, preserving important context while omitting some outdated or unnecessary details. This reduces the amount of stale detail in the active context without discarding the conversation’s useful history. (platform.claude.com)
