main

As a user, I want to view, delete, and edit context entries, so that I can manually prune or summarize the conversation.

SYNOPSIS

/context command to list, delete, and edit conversation entries.

DESCRIPTION

As conversations grow, the context can become bloated with irrelevant entries or verbose tool output. The user should be able to:

  1. View context as a numbered list with role and preview
  2. Delete entries interactively or by number
  3. Edit a single entry in $EDITOR

Example session:

> /context
1. [system] You are a developer... (245 tokens)
2. [user] Fix the login bug
3. [assistant] I'll look at auth.rb... (89 tokens)
4. [tool] read auth.rb → 450 lines (1200 tokens)
5. [assistant] The issue is on line 42... (156 tokens)

> /context delete
  [ ] 1. [system] You are a developer...
  [x] 4. [tool] read auth.rb → 450 lines
  
Deleted 1 entry.

> /context edit 3
# Opens entry 3 in $EDITOR, saves changes back to context

Acceptance Criteria

  • /context shows numbered list with role and preview
  • Each entry shows approximate token count
  • /context delete opens interactive multi-select
  • /context delete 3,4,5 deletes by number
  • /context edit N opens entry N in $EDITOR
  • Edited content replaces original entry
  • Empty edit (delete all content) removes the entry
  • System prompt (entry 1) protected from deletion
  • Changes reflected immediately in conversation
