How the agent loop works

 
 You can customize compaction behavior in several ways:
 
-* **Summarization instructions in CLAUDE.md:** The compactor reads your CLAUDE.md like any other context, so you can include a section telling it what to preserve when summarizing. The section header is free-form (not a magic string); the compactor matches on intent.
+* **Summarization instructions in CLAUDE.md:** The compactor reads your CLAUDE.md like any other context, so you can include a section telling it what to preserve when summarizing. The compactor matches on intent, so the section header is free-form.
 * **`PreCompact` hook:** Run custom logic before compaction occurs, for example to archive the full transcript. The hook receives a `trigger` field (`manual` or `auto`). See [hooks](/docs/en/agent-sdk/hooks).
-* **Manual compaction:** Send `/compact` as a prompt string to trigger compaction on demand. Commands sent this way are ordinary SDK inputs. See [commands in the SDK](/docs/en/agent-sdk/slash-commands).

   Add a section to your project's CLAUDE.md telling the compactor what to preserve. The header name isn't special; use any clear label.

 <Note>
   When a query ends on an error result:
 
-  * A single-shot `query()` call yields the final result message, then raises an error that includes the failure text, such as `Reached maximum number of turns`. The raise is intentional — wrap the loop in a try block if your code needs to continue past it. The underlying Claude Code process also exits with a nonzero code.

   * A streaming input session stays alive, and you can keep sending messages, except after a session crash, which emits a final `error_during_execution` result and exits the process.
