- Improve FALLBACK_SUMMARY to instruct agent to check CURRENT_WORK.md - Add clear instructions to read memory files before responding - Warn against hallucinating non-existent conversations - Make memory flush prompt explicitly require CURRENT_WORK.md update - Strengthen system prompt to emphasize this is mandatory This prevents the agent from continuing conversations that never happened when compaction summarization fails (e.g., no API key, network error, etc.).

## Issue: Hallucination after failed compaction summary
|
|
|
|
When compaction summarization fails (no API key, error, etc.), the agent receives:
|
|
"Summary unavailable due to context limits. Older messages were truncated."
|
|
|
|
This provides ZERO context, leading to hallucination about non-existent conversations.
|
|
|
|
## Proposed Fix 1: Better fallback message
|
|
|
|
In `src/agents/pi-extensions/compaction-safeguard.ts`:
|
|
|
|
```typescript
|
|
const FALLBACK_SUMMARY = [
|
|
"Summary unavailable due to context limits. Older messages were truncated.",
|
|
"",
|
|
"⚠️ IMPORTANT: You have NO context from previous messages.",
|
|
"Before continuing:",
|
|
"1. Read CURRENT_WORK.md if it exists",
|
|
"2. Read memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md for today's context",
|
|
"3. ASK the user what they were working on if unclear",
|
|
"4. DO NOT assume or hallucinate previous conversation content",
|
|
].join("\n");
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Proposed Fix 2: Better default memory flush prompt
|
|
|
|
In `src/auto-reply/reply/memory-flush.ts`:
|
|
|
|
```typescript
|
|
export const DEFAULT_MEMORY_FLUSH_PROMPT = [
|
|
"Pre-compaction memory flush.",
|
|
"MANDATORY: Update CURRENT_WORK.md with the current task and context.",
|
|
"Also store durable memories to memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md.",
|
|
`If nothing to store, reply with ${SILENT_REPLY_TOKEN}.`,
|
|
].join(" ");
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Why this matters
|
|
|
|
Without proper context recovery instructions, Claude will:
|
|
- Hallucinate about previous conversations
|
|
- Continue non-existent tasks
|
|
- Confuse users with irrelevant responses
|
|
|
|
The fix ensures the agent knows to CHECK files and ASK rather than assume.
