Context Management

Fresh

Manage AI context windows effectively to maintain conversation quality.

Context Warnings

Level	Threshold	Action
Yellow	60% (configurable)	Consider compacting
Red	80% (configurable)	Compact immediately

Configure thresholds in Settings → Display.

Compact and Continue

Triggers when: context >= 25%, OR conversation >= 2,000 tokens, OR >= 8 meaningful messages.

Progress indicator: "Summarizing chunk 1/4..." → "Consolidation pass 1/3..." → "Finalizing..."

Up to 3 consolidation passes if the result is still over 40k tokens.

Tab Menu Actions

Hover any tab for the context menu:

Action	Description
Copy Session ID	Get the unique session identifier
Star Session	Pin for quick access
Rename Tab	Custom name for organization
Mark as Unread	Flag for later review
Export as HTML	Themed export with metadata
Context: Copy	Copy full context to clipboard
Context: Compact	Trigger manual compaction
Context: Merge Into	Combine with another session
Context: Send to Agent	Transfer to a different provider
Context: Publish as Gist	Share via GitHub Gist (requires gh)

Close operations: Close, Close Others, Close Left, Close Right. All respect Unread Filter. Up to 25 recently closed tabs restorable with Ctrl+Shift+T.

Merge Sessions

Combine context from multiple sessions/tabs:

• Shows token estimate before merging
• "Clean context" option removes duplicates and reduces size
• Works within same agent or across different agents

Send to Another Agent

Transfer context between different AI providers (e.g., Claude Code → Codex). Context cleaning enabled by default for verbatim transfers.

Best Practice

Compact before reaching 70% context — don't wait for the red warning. Use session tabs to separate distinct conversations.
