Sessions

Sessions store conversation history and tool outputs. Long sessions increase:

• prompt size (cost)
• latency (more tokens to process)
• “surprise compaction” risk if you run close to the context window

Good session hygiene improves reliability.

Practical tips

• Use separate sessions for unrelated tasks (don’t overload one “main” forever).
• Prefer tools that write artifacts to disk (workspace) instead of keeping everything in chat.
• If you run group chats, consider sandboxing non-main sessions to limit tool side effects:
  • /channels/groups
