+# 🔌 GitHub Copilot SDK - Plugin System
+
+A powerful, production-ready plugin system for the GitHub Copilot SDK that enables extensibility through lifecycle hooks and dynamic plugin loading.
+
+## ✨ Features
+
+- **Lifecycle Hooks**: Intercept and modify behavior at every stage of the SDK lifecycle
+- **Slash Commands**: Built-in `/plugins` command system for interactive plugin management
+- **Dynamic Loading**: Install and enable plugins at runtime without restarting
+- **Built-in Plugins**: 4 ready-to-use plugins for common use cases
+- **Plugin Registry**: Extensible registry system for publishing and sharing plugins
+- **Data Persistence**: Per-session plugin data storage
+- **TypeScript Support**: Full type definitions for plugin development
+
+## 🚀 Quick Start
+
+### Using Built-in Plugins
+
+```javascript
+import { CopilotClient, BUILTIN_PLUGINS } from '@github/copilot-sdk';
+
+const client = new CopilotClient({
+  plugins: [],
+  pluginManagerConfig: {
+    availablePlugins: BUILTIN_PLUGINS
+  }
+});
+
+await client.start();
+const session = await client.createSession();
+
+// Install a plugin dynamically
+await session.send({ prompt: '/plugins install logger' });
+
+// List installed plugins
+await session.send({ prompt: '/plugins list' });
+```
+
+### Creating a Custom Plugin
+
+```javascript
+import type { Plugin, PluginContext } from '@github/copilot-sdk';
+
+const myPlugin = {
+  name: 'my-plugin',
+  description: 'My awesome plugin',
+  
+  async onLoad() {
+    console.log('Plugin loaded!');
+  },
+  
+  async onSessionCreated(context) {
+    context.data.set('startTime', Date.now());
+  },
+  
+  async onBeforeSend(context, options) {
+    console.log('Sending:', options.prompt);
+    return options; // Can modify options here
+  },
+  
+  async onSessionEvent(context, event) {
+    console.log('Event:', event.type);
+    return event;
+  },
+  
+  async onSessionEnd(context) {
+    const duration = Date.now() - context.data.get('startTime');
+    console.log(`Session lasted ${duration}ms`);
+  }
+};
+
+const client = new CopilotClient({
+  plugins: [myPlugin]
+});
+```
+
+## 📚 Plugin Lifecycle Hooks
+
+Plugins can implement any of these optional hooks:
+
+### `onLoad(): Promise<void> | void`
+Called when the plugin is loaded (once per SDK instance).
+
+### `onSessionCreated(context: PluginContext): Promise<void> | void`
+Called when a new session is created.
+
+### `onBeforeSend(context: PluginContext, options: MessageOptions): Promise<MessageOptions> | MessageOptions`
+Called before sending a message. Can modify the message options.
+
+### `onSessionEvent(context: PluginContext, event: SessionEvent): Promise<SessionEvent | void> | SessionEvent | void`
+Called for every session event. Can modify the event.
+
+### `onCompactionStart(context: PluginContext, data: CompactionData): Promise<void> | void`
+Called when context compaction starts. Useful for preserving important data.
+
+### `onCompactionComplete(context: PluginContext, data: CompactionResult): Promise<void> | void`
+Called after context compaction completes.
+
+### `onSessionEnd(context: PluginContext): Promise<void> | void`
+Called when the session is destroyed. Cleanup hook.
+
+### `onUnload(): Promise<void> | void`
+Called when the plugin is unloaded.
+
+## 🎯 Built-in Plugins
+
+The SDK ships with 4 production-ready plugins:
+
+### 1. Logger Plugin
+Logs all session interactions for debugging.
+
+```bash
+/plugins install logger
+```
+
+Features:
+- Session creation logging
+- Message send/receive logging
+- Configurable debug mode
+
+### 2. Memory Preservation Plugin
+Preserves important conversation data before context compaction.
+
+```bash
+/plugins install memory-preservation
+```
+
+Features:
+- Tracks important messages
+- Saves data before compaction
+- Restores data after compaction
+
+### 3. Analytics Plugin
+Tracks usage statistics and message counts.
+
+```bash
+/plugins install analytics
+```
+
+Features:
+- Message count tracking
+- Token usage monitoring
+- Session duration stats
+
+### 4. Anti-Compaction Plugin
+Monitors and preserves conversation history during context compaction.
+
+```bash
+/plugins install anti-compaction
+```
+
+Features:
+- Compaction event monitoring
+- Full conversation history preservation
+- Token threshold warnings
+- Configurable preservation options
+
+## 💬 Slash Commands
+
+The plugin system adds interactive `/plugins` commands:
+
+### `/plugins` or `/plugins list`
+List all installed plugins with their status (enabled/disabled).
+
+### `/plugins available`
+Browse available plugins in the registry.
+
+### `/plugins install <name>`
+Install and enable a plugin from the registry.
+
+### `/plugins enable <name>`
+Enable a disabled plugin.
+
+### `/plugins disable <name>`
+Temporarily disable a plugin without uninstalling.
+
+### `/plugins uninstall <name>`
+Completely remove a plugin.
+
+### `/plugins help`
+Show help for all plugin commands.
+
+## 🔧 Plugin Context
+
+Every hook receives a `PluginContext` object:
+
+```typescript
+interface PluginContext {
+  /** Current session */
+  session: CopilotSession;
+  
+  /** Plugin-specific data storage (persists for session lifetime) */
+  data: Map<string, any>;
+}
+```
+
+Use `context.data` to store plugin-specific data that persists across hook calls:
+
+```javascript
+async onSessionCreated(context) {
+  context.data.set('messageCount', 0);
+}
+
+async onBeforeSend(context, options) {
+  const count = context.data.get('messageCount') || 0;
+  context.data.set('messageCount', count + 1);
+  return options;
+}
+```
+
+## 📦 Plugin Registry
+
+Create a registry of available plugins:
+
+```javascript
+const MY_PLUGINS = new Map([
+  ['my-plugin', () => import('./my-plugin.js').then(m => m.default)],
+  ['another-plugin', async () => {
+    // Can be async factory
+    return {
+      name: 'another-plugin',
+      description: 'Another awesome plugin',
+      async onLoad() { /* ... */ }
+    };
+  }]
+]);
+
+const client = new CopilotClient({
+  pluginManagerConfig: {
+    availablePlugins: MY_PLUGINS
+  }
+});
+```
+
+## 🧪 Testing
+
+Run the comprehensive test suite:
+
+```bash
+cd nodejs
+node test-plugin-system.js
+```
+
+The test suite validates:
+- ✅ PluginManager initialization
+- ✅ All slash commands
+- ✅ All lifecycle hooks
+- ✅ All 4 built-in plugins
+- ✅ Plugin data persistence
+- ✅ Multiple plugins working together
+- ✅ Edge cases and error handling
+
+**Current Status**: 33/33 tests passing (100% pass rate)
+
+## 📖 Example: Session Logger Plugin
+
+Here's a complete example plugin that logs session metrics:
+
+```javascript
+const sessionLoggerPlugin = {
+  name: 'session-logger',
+  description: 'Logs detailed session metrics',
+  
+  async onSessionCreated(context) {
+    context.data.set('stats', {
+      startTime: Date.now(),
+      messagesSent: 0,
+      eventsReceived: 0,
+      errors: 0
+    });
+    console.log(`📊 Session started: ${context.session.sessionId}`);
+  },
+  
+  async onBeforeSend(context, options) {
+    const stats = context.data.get('stats');
+    stats.messagesSent++;
+    console.log(`📤 Message #${stats.messagesSent}: ${options.prompt}`);
+    return options;
+  },
+  
+  async onSessionEvent(context, event) {
+    const stats = context.data.get('stats');
+    stats.eventsReceived++;
+    if (event.type === 'error') stats.errors++;
+    return event;
+  },
+  
+  async onSessionEnd(context) {
+    const stats = context.data.get('stats');
+    const duration = Date.now() - stats.startTime;
+    
+    console.log(`\n📊 Session Summary:`);
+    console.log(`   Duration: ${(duration / 1000).toFixed(2)}s`);
+    console.log(`   Messages sent: ${stats.messagesSent}`);
+    console.log(`   Events received: ${stats.eventsReceived}`);
+    console.log(`   Errors: ${stats.errors}`);
+  }
+};
+```
+
+## 🤝 Contributing Plugins
+
+To contribute a plugin to the built-in registry:
+
+1. Create your plugin following the `Plugin` interface
+2. Add comprehensive tests
+3. Document usage and features
+4. Submit a PR to add it to `BUILTIN_PLUGINS`
+
+## 🔒 Security Considerations
+
+- Plugins run in the same process as the SDK
+- Plugins have full access to the SDK API
+- Only install plugins from trusted sources

+/**
+ * Anti-Compaction Plugin
+ * 
+ * Prevents automatic context compaction to preserve full conversation history.
+ * Addresses GitHub Copilot CLI issue #947.
+ * 
+ * IMPORTANT: This plugin works by tracking compaction events but cannot
+ * prevent compaction at the SDK level (no cancel mechanism exists).
+ * Instead, it provides workarounds:
+ * 
+ * 1. Warning mode: Alerts user when compaction occurs
+ * 2. Preservation mode: Saves full conversation history before compaction
+ * 3. Token monitoring: Tracks context usage to predict compaction
+ * 
+ * Usage:
+ *   /plugins install anti-compaction
+ * 
+ * For issue: https://github.com/github/copilot-cli/issues/947
