new

A session-reset command that saves a short summary of the current conversation and prepares the next message to start fresh.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for starting over with commands such as /new or /reset while keeping session notes for later reference.
Why use it?
It lets you begin a new working session without losing a record of the previous one, even when the agent cannot use its built-in clear command.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

new scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 96 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/new — Start a new session

Save the current session to memory, then mark it as "reset pending" so the next message triggers a fresh greeting (like OpenClaw).

How this works (architecture)

OpenClaw's /new generates a new session ID and runs a greeting prompt on the next turn. In Claude Code, skills CANNOT invoke native /clear. Instead, we:

  1. Save the current session to memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md
  2. Write a marker .session-reset-pending with the greeting prompt
  3. Respond with a brief "new session" acknowledgement
  4. On the next message, the agent detects the marker, delivers the greeting, deletes the marker

This is the honest simulation of a session reset when native /clear is not invokable.

Steps

  1. Detect surface (CLI vs messaging).

  2. Summarize the current session to memory:

    DATE=$(date +%Y-%m-%d)
    TIME=$(date +%H:%M)
    

    Append to memory/$DATE.md:

    
    ## Session summary (<TIME>) — before /new
    
    - <key point>
    - <key point>
    
    ### Open items
    - <pending>
    

    If the session was trivial, skip this step but still do the next one.

  3. Write the reset marker:

    cat > .session-reset-pending << 'EOF'
    A new session was started via /new or /reset. Greet the user in your configured persona, if one is provided. Be yourself - use your defined voice, mannerisms, and mood. Keep it to 1-3 sentences and ask what they want to do. If the runtime model differs from default_model in the system prompt, mention the default model. Do not mention internal steps, files, tools, or reasoning.
    EOF
    

    (This is the EXACT prompt from OpenClaw's session-reset-prompt.ts)

  4. Respond briefly per surface:

CLI

🔄 New session started. Summary saved to memory/<DATE>.md.

Send a message to receive the welcome greeting.
(Or if you also want to clear the REPL context, run /clear afterward.)

WhatsApp

🔄 *Session reset*. Send a message and I'll greet you again 👋

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

new is a skill published in the GitHub repository crisandrews/ClawCode (62 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 54 tokens to every session and 866 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
