Claude Code - Intelligent Context Cleanup System

Autonomous context management for Claude Code through intelligent cleanup and memory migration

🎯 Overview

An intelligent system that enables Claude Code to autonomously manage its context window by:

• 📊 Monitoring prompt fill level continuously
• 🧹 Cleaning up irrelevant information automatically
• 🧠 Migrating important knowledge to persistent memory
• 🚀 Optimizing performance without user intervention

Problem: As conversations grow, Claude Code's context fills up, leading to slower performance and eventually hitting token limits.

Solution: Claude autonomously detects when cleanup is needed and intelligently removes old, irrelevant information while preserving important knowledge in the MCP Memory Server.

✨ Key Features

🤖 Autonomous Operation

• Self-monitoring: Claude checks context usage automatically
• Proactive cleanup: Acts before reaching limits
• Auto-approval: Executes cleanup without user intervention when safe
• Transparent: Always explains what's being done

🎯 Intelligent Cleanup

• Relevance scoring: ML-based analysis of message importance
• Reference tracking: Preserves cross-referenced information
• Tool-specific rules: Different strategies for Read, Bash, Grep, etc.
• Context-aware: Understands current task and preserves related info

🧠 Memory Integration

• Automatic migration: Important old info moved to MCP Memory Server
• Entity extraction: Converts context to structured knowledge graph
• Retrieval support: Can query memory when needed
• Dual scope: Project-local and user-global memory

🛡️ Safety First

• Never removes: Last 3 turns, errors, system prompts, recent edits
• Rollback support: Can undo any cleanup operation
• Dry-run mode: Preview cleanup before execution
• User override: Always respects explicit user instructions
