## Definition

**Auto-compacting** — as used in this channel's material — appears in the context of a live build that converts a traditional email app into **agent-native software** using a compound-engineering workflow (_plan → work → review → triage → compound_) [^aa20e0e7@0]. The captured material presents it as part of that working session; explore the session moments to understand its role in the build.

In this channel's material, **auto-compacting** appears within the live build session where a traditional email app is converted into **agent-native software** in real time — a build driven by the compound-engineering workflow of *plan → work → review → triage → compound* [^aa20e0e7@0].The session demonstrates how a compound-engineering loop keeps a build moving across stages: planning the change, doing the work, reviewing the result, triaging issues, and compounding what was learned back into the system [^aa20e0e7@0]. Auto-compacting is discussed in that working context rather than as an abstract idea — explore the video moments to see how it functions inside the live build.- **Auto-compacting** is explored within the *agent-native software* live build, not in isolation.- It belongs to the compound-engineering workflow: *plan → work → review → triage → compound*.- The clearest way to understand it is to watch it in use during the session.
