# decay demo

1. A few exchanges set goals, make decisions, and leave one task half done.
2. `/compact`: Decay replaces Pi's summary with structured memory, classifying what happened into atoms: goal, decision, constraint, state, blocker.
3. The compaction summary that lands in context is terse, structured, and recency-weighted: the latest decision wins, superseded ones are marked.
4. The context meter drops; the next prompt still knows the open task and the decisions.

Protagonist: decay.
Supporting: context-size for the meter, continuity picks up the unfinished task.
Point: compaction that keeps decisions and state, not prose.
