Bug Description
Feature Request: Companion customization & context window alerts
I'd love the ability to configure Nape's(my companion) behavior beyond the current fixed UI. Specifically:
- Context window threshold alerts — trigger a Nape hint when I reach a configurable % of my context window (e.g., 60%, 80%). This would help me decide
when to /compact before losing context mid-task.
- Custom hint triggers — ability to define conditions (via settings.json or hooks) that prompt Nape to show a message, similar to how hooks work for tool
events.
- Opt-in hints — e.g., "you haven't committed in 30 minutes" or "3 files changed, consider a checkpoint."
The context window alert specifically would be very practical — right now there's no passive indicator when a session is getting long, so /compact often
happens reactively rather than proactively.
