+# AirContext Compression Rules
+
+This file is fed to the compression LLM as part of its system prompt. Edit
+freely to bias what the summary keeps versus drops. The defaults below favour
+software-engineering sessions; rewrite them for your domain.
+
+## Always preserve verbatim
+
+- File paths read or modified, with the final intended state of each file
+- Architecture decisions and the reasoning behind them
+- Open TODOs, unresolved bugs, error messages still in scope
+- The user's stated goal for the current session
+- Any user-supplied facts that the model could not derive from the codebase
+  (credentials hints, deployment quirks, deadlines, "we tried X and it failed because Y")
+
+## Aggressively drop
+
+- Exploratory grep/glob results that did not lead anywhere
+- File contents that were superseded by later edits
+- Tool outputs over 1000 lines (keep first 50 lines and last 50 lines, summarise the middle)
+- Repeated similar searches and their near-identical outputs
+- Completed sub-steps whose only output was "looks good, moving on"
+
+## Output format
+
+- Plain prose, no markdown headers or bullet lists unless they materially aid recall
+- Reference files by `path:line` when relevant
+- One paragraph per topic; aim for under 3000 tokens total
+- Do NOT speculate beyond what the conversation contains
+- Do NOT apologise, summarise the act of summarising, or add meta-commentary
