Session Management

Carry Code’s session feature allows you to create, switch, and manage multiple conversation contexts.

What is a Session?

Section titled “What is a Session?”

A session is an independent conversation context. When you chat with AI, all conversation history is saved. In a session:

  • AI can see what you’ve discussed before
  • No need to repeat background information
  • Context is automatically preserved

Session Commands

Section titled “Session Commands”

Use the /session command to manage sessions:

3. Cleaning Up Sessions

When a session gets too long, you can:

  • Create a new session
  • Use /compact to compress context

Manual Context Compression

Section titled “Manual Context Compression”

When a session gets too long, Carry Code automatically compresses the conversation:

  • Preserve key info - Important decisions and results
