Compaction is when Claude Code summarizes a long conversation to free up room. The description still states that scheduled jobs only run while Claude Code is idle, not in the middle of answering.\n\n**Why**\n\nClaude reads this description to decide how to use the scheduling tool, so the new wording can affect how it handles scheduled tasks after a conversation has been compacted.\n\n- Area: Scheduled Tasks\n- Names: `CronCreate`\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 0\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
