SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

As conversation lists grow, finding past chats becomes difficult. This Skill lets you organize conversations into named sidebar groups so related chats stay together and important ones stay pinned.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • List Groups: View all existing sidebar groups, including built-in system groups (Pinned, Recents, Scheduled, Background) and your custom groups.
  • Create Groups: Add new custom sections like "Work" or "Travel planning"; duplicate names are automatically reused instead of creating near-duplicates.
  • File Conversations: Move any conversation into a group by name or id, defaulting to the current chat when no conversation is specified.
  • Use Case: Say "file this chat under Work" and the current conversation is moved into your Work group; moving it to Pinned pins it, and moving it to Recents removes it from a custom group.

Quick Start

Ask the assistant to create a group called Work and move the current conversation into it.

Frequently Asked Questions about conversation-groups

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I organize conversations into sidebar groups?

List existing groups first, then create a custom group with a name like "Work" and move conversations into it. Moves default to the current conversation, so you can simply ask to file the current chat under a group.

How do I pin a conversation in the sidebar?

Move the conversation into the built-in Pinned system group to pin it. Moving it to any other group, including Recents, unpins it.

What happens if I create a group with a duplicate name?

Creating a group whose name already exists reuses the existing group instead of creating a duplicate, matched case-insensitively. System group names like Pinned and Recents are reserved and cannot be created.

Can I remove a conversation from a custom group?

Move the conversation to the Recents system group (system:all) to remove it from a custom group. Moves only affect sidebar organization and are fully reversible.

Why doesn't moving a background conversation change the sidebar?

Subagent and background conversations are hidden from the sidebar regardless of their group, so moving them has no visible effect. Only regular user conversations appear in sidebar groups.
