Important Commands
- /compact: Summarise conversation and reclaim context.
- /clear: Start with an empty conversation context.
- /resume: Continue a previous session.
- /context: Inspect context-window usage.
- /branch: Explore an alternative path from the current conversation.
- –fork-session: Inherit context but create an independent session.
- /rewind: Return to an earlier checkpoint.
Preserving Critical Information
- Immutable facts: Account ID, agreed price, transaction ID.
- Mutable facts: Status, progress, next action.
- Derived facts: Conclusions based on evidence.
- Unverified facts: Claims still requiring confirmation.
Do not repeatedly summarise critical transactional facts. Keep them in a structured case-facts block or external state.
Long-Running Tasks
Persist important discoveries to external scratchpad/state files so they survive compaction, context resets and session boundaries.
Resuming Multi-Agent Work
Best pattern: each agent persists structured output, while a coordinator maintains a manifest/checkpoint and restores only relevant state.
Memory: Compact history. Persist facts. Rehydrate only what is needed.
