 ## 🎯 Objective
-Migrate SolarWindPy's local plans system to GitHub Issues while preserving the comprehensive propositions framework (Risk, Value, Cost, Token, Usage) and automatic closeout documentation (85% implementation decision capture). Primary objective: Enable instant plan synchronization across 3 development computers, eliminating 100+ hours/year lost to cross-machine friction and preventing data loss from local-only plan branches.
+Create a new GitHub Issues-based plan management system for SolarWindPy that preserves the comprehensive propositions framework (Risk, Value, Cost, Token, Usage) and automatic closeout documentation (85% implementation decision capture). Primary objective: Enable instant plan synchronization across 3 development computers for future plans, eliminating cross-machine friction while maintaining all sophisticated planning capabilities in a GitHub-native workflow.
 
 ## 🧠 Context
-The current local plans system in `plans/` directories provides excellent structured planning with detailed propositions analysis and automatic closeout documentation. However, plans become trapped on local branches across multiple development machines, creating significant cross-computer friction and risk of data loss. With 3 active development computers, the inability to instantly sync and access plans from any machine wastes 100+ hours annually in context switching overhead, branch management, and duplicated work. This migration aims to preserve all current capabilities while enabling instant multi-computer synchronization through GitHub's native features.
+The current local plans system in `plans/` directories provides excellent structured planning with detailed propositions analysis and automatic closeout documentation. However, plans become trapped on local branches across multiple development machines, creating significant cross-computer friction for future work. With 3 active development computers, the inability to instantly access and collaborate on plans from any machine limits development efficiency for complex scientific projects.
+
+Rather than migrate existing plans (which remain as historical reference), this system creates a GitHub Issues-based workflow for new plans, providing instant multi-computer access while preserving all sophisticated planning capabilities.

+## 🔄 Context Management Strategy
+
+**Real Context Preservation**: This plan uses git commits and plan file updates as the primary context preservation mechanism, not in-session compaction:
+
+### How Context Actually Works
+1. **Git Milestone Commits**: Each phase ends with a commit capturing all deliverables and progress
+2. **Plan File Updates**: Implementation decisions and progress tracked in phase files
+3. **Session Breaks**: Natural boundaries where users can end/resume sessions cleanly
+4. **File-Based Context**: When resuming, Claude reads plan files and git history for full context
+
+### User Session Management
+**Between Phases**: User controls session boundaries and transitions:
+
+```markdown
+## Session Transition Process:
+1. Complete phase milestone git commit
+2. Update plan files with progress and decisions  
+3. End Claude Code session naturally
+4. Resume: Start new session with: "Continue GitHub Issues migration plan - begin Phase [N+1]. Read current status from plans/github-issues-migration/ directory."
+```
+
+### Why This Works
+- **Git commits** preserve exact state of deliverables
+- **Plan files** contain all implementation decisions and next steps
+- **Claude Code** automatically handles token limits during individual sessions
+- **File reading** provides complete context for seamless continuation
+
+**Important**: Claude cannot execute user interface commands like `/compact`. Context preservation is handled through version control and structured plan documentation.
