File-Based Context

The primary way to manage context is through your project files:

  1. Currently Focused File
  • Your active editor tab is automatically included as context
  • Highlight any text range to emphasize specific sections

Conversation Context Management

By default, only the 5 most recent back-and-forth turns in a conversation are kept as context. This automatic management helps maintain an optimal price/performance ratio while keeping the most relevant context.

To preserve specific messages from earlier in the conversation:

  1. Click the three dots menu next to any message
  2. Select “Set as Important”
  3. The message will be marked with a flag 🚩 and kept in context

Setting a message as important

Use the Important flag for key information or instructions you want the AI to remember throughout the conversation.
