[Feature Request] Add --model flag to /compact command or config default for compaction model

Resolved 💬 3 comments Opened Feb 3, 2026 by jonah-osmo Closed Feb 7, 2026

Bug Description
i assume the "/compact" uses which ever modle is currently the active model" to review the conversation to create the summary. for very long conversations, I have noticed this can take a while and be relatively token intensive, so I usually do "/model haiku" -> "/compact" -> "/model opus".if I chain these commands in my conversation, sometimes the "/model opus" step is skipped. it would just be easier if I could do soemthing like "/compact --model haiku" or just set a default model for the "/compact" command in my config.
