Hunea
  • English

      • /clear

      /clear clears the current conversation context and starts a brand-new session. /new is an alias — typing /clear or /new has exactly the same effect.

      Use it when your current session is getting long, context is almost full, and you want to continue chatting from a clean slate without quitting the app. Just type / in an empty input box, select /clear, and press Enter.

      The current version does not ask for confirmation: selecting and pressing Enter executes immediately. It's unlikely we'll add a confirmation step later.

      What happens after execution

      After confirming /clear, Hunea does roughly two things:

      1. Restores the TUI to a state close to fresh launch
      2. Resets the runtime session, so subsequent requests go through a new, clean conversation context

      Common UI changes include:

      • The visible conversation history of the current session is cleared
      • The startup banner reappears
      • The draft in the input box is cleared
      • Most overlays/panels are closed (model selection, session resume, session tree, copy panel, approval panel, file/skill picker, etc.)
      • Any in-flight streaming state, selections, toasts, etc. are also cleared

      On the runtime side, it's more like "starting a new session":

      • If there was an ongoing request, it will typically be interrupted/canceled
      • The historical context sent to providers is cleared
      • The next send will be prepared as a new session (including reapplying prompt assembly for the next new session)

      What won't be cleared

      /clear only clears the current conversation context — it doesn't wipe all Hunea data. You won't usually lose:

      • Your currently selected model
        It will generally persist, so you don't need to re-select with /models (though you can still change it if you want).

      • Already saved historical sessions
        Previous conversations that were persisted to disk can still be found in the /resume list; /clear is more like "switch to a new empty session" than bulk-deleting archives.

      • Global user message history
        The cross-session history used by /resend is not cleared by /clear.

      • models.toml, prompt assembly, configuration files
        Provider/model configuration and the assembly state you maintain in /prompt are not directly changed by /clear.

      What you want to doMore appropriate command
      Clear current conversation, start a new session, stay in the app/clear (alias /new)
      Exit the entire application/exit (alias /quit)
      Go back to a saved old session/resume
      Only refill a previously sent user input/resend
      Precisely return to a message node / branch in the current session/tree
      Check how much context is currently used/context

      To put it simply:

      • You still want to use Hunea, the conversation is just too messy/full → /clear
      • You're done chatting and want to close the program → /exit
      • You don't want to discard the current conversation, you just want to recover an old session → /resume

      Usage tips

      • When context is almost full and the model starts "forgetting" or answering off-topic: check /context first, then use /clear to start a clean session when needed.
      • After modifying prompt assembly in /prompt: most changes apply to "the next new session"; close the panel then /clear to easily verify the new assembly immediately.
      • If there's content in the current session you want to keep: use /copy to copy it out first, then /clear.
      • If you just want to reuse an old prompt and don't want to discard the current conversation: use /resend, it won't clear the current conversation.
