To preserve conversation history, you can automate the creation of context markers that summarize modified files and technical decisions before clearing chat. This frees up token space while ensuring data is saved for future session restoration.

Context marker creation is the process of generating a detailed summary of the current conversational state and technical decisions. It helps with session management by setting up auto-restoration for future sessions, preventing data loss when history is cleared.

You should use a state preservation tool to clear conversation context when you have completed a significant feature and need to start a new, unrelated task. It ensures all progress is saved and easily restorable while beginning the next task with a clean context.

You can set up automatic restoration of technical decisions by invoking a session management skill that generates a detailed context marker. This marker summarizes your conversation and automatically restores the state when you begin your next session.

Clearing chat history does not delete modified files if you use context preservation to generate a state marker first. The marker captures a detailed summary of your technical decisions, which is then set up for auto-restoration in future sessions.
