New Task

Context-preserving handoff

New Task starts a fresh conversation while packaging the essential context — plan, decisions, files, and next steps — from the current one. Clean slate with full memory.

How it works

Clean conversation,
preserved context

Run /newtask when you're ready for a new phase of work. It distills what matters from the current conversation and hands it off to a fresh one — signal only, no noise.

Context Handoff

Overall plan, work accomplished, key decisions, relevant files, and explicit next steps — packaged into the opening of the new conversation.

Handoff: Plan (phase 2 of 4), Decisions (3), Files (7), Next: implement auth

Noise Discarded

Implementation details, tool outputs, debugging traces, and back-and-forth discussion are left behind. Only signal crosses the boundary.

Discarded: 34 tool calls, 12 debugging messages, 8 revised approaches

Phase Transitions

Perfect for moving between phases of work. Research → planning. Planning → implementation. Implementation → review. Each phase starts clean.

Phase 1 (research) complete → Starting Phase 2 (implementation)

Instant & Local

Runs entirely in the browser. Fresh conversation starts immediately with context already loaded. No waiting, no API call.

New conversation created with handoff context in <100ms

Handoff, not restart

Not "let me re-explain everything."
The new conversation already knows what happened.

Manual Handoff
Start new chat with empty context
Copy-paste key decisions manually
Miss important context from the old conversation
Spend 10 minutes re-establishing shared understanding
With /newtask
New conversation pre-loaded with distilled context
All key decisions, files, and next steps included
Implementation noise left behind automatically
Ready to work in seconds, not minutes

Between phases of work

New phase. Same project. Full context.

Whenever work shifts from one mode to another.

Phase Transitions

Research → Design → Implementation → Review — clean breaks

Morning Continuations

Pick up yesterday's work with distilled context, not stale chat

Team Handoffs

Package your context for someone else to continue

Topic Pivots

Same Space, different question — start fresh with relevant context

Research Pivots

New hypothesis → start fresh with all findings from prior investigation

Analysis to Action

Deep analysis complete → new task focused on implementation

Time for a new task?

In any conversation, run /newtask from the Conductor.
