# Amp — Handoff (No More Compaction)

- Subject: Amp

Amp replaced its compaction feature with a new feature called Handoff, which extracts relevant context from a current thread to start a new thread without lossy summarization. Handoff allows users to specify a goal, and Amp generates a prompt and list of relevant files, which appears as a draft for review and editing before sending.

## Evidence

Verbatim from https://ampcode.com/news/handoff:

> We have removed compaction from Amp and replaced it with something that we think works a lot better: Handoff.
