Compression Threshold

Domain: Memory & Context

Motivation

The point at which context compression triggers. When the conversation length exceeds this threshold, the agent compresses automatically.

Concrete Example

Threshold set to 80 percent of context window. When the conversation fills 80 percent, compression kicks in. Below that, no compression needed.

Analogy

A water tank alarm - when water reaches 80 percent capacity, the alarm triggers. The compression threshold triggers when context reaches its limit.
