Override the compact agent

Create .xum/agents/compact.md in your project (or ~/.xum/agents/compact.md for global):

---
name: Compact
base: compact
---

When summarizing:

- Preserve exact file paths and command output
- Prefer bullet lists over long prose

By default, your prompt is appended to the built-in compact agent.

Replace instead of append

---
name: Compact
base: compact
prompt:
  append: false
---

Summarize in 5 bullets max. No preamble.
