Context Control

DesireCore keeps the visible conversation history, but each model call has a finite context window. Context control lets long conversations continue without deleting the visible history.

/new​

/new creates a new context boundary in the same conversation.

  • Visible history remains available
  • Future model calls stop automatically reading the full content before the boundary
  • Useful when switching topics or starting a fresh task

/compact​

/compact summarizes older messages and uses that summary as part of future context.

  • Original history remains visible
  • The model mainly reads the summary plus recent turns
  • Useful for long tasks, writing sessions, and multi-step reviews

Automatic Compaction​

When a conversation approaches the model's context limit, DesireCore can compact old context automatically. This prevents sudden failures while retaining goals, decisions, completed steps, and open tasks.

CompactSession​

Some agents can call CompactSession themselves when they detect a long-running task. It keeps the UI history intact and only changes what future model calls read.
