wipe

/wipe

Generate a context handoff summary, clear the session, and resume in a fresh conversation. Detects environment and provides automated (tmux) or manual workflow.

Usage

/wipe
/wipe quick           # Minimal handoff, just essentials
/wipe detailed        # Comprehensive handoff with full context

Instructions

When the user invokes /wipe:

Phase 1: Detect Environment

First, check the terminal environment:

echo "Environment Detection:"
echo "TMUX: ${TMUX:-not set}"
echo "TERM_PROGRAM: ${TERM_PROGRAM:-not set}"
echo "TERM: $TERM"

if [ -n "$TMUX" ]; then
    echo "MODE: tmux (automated wipe available)"
    tmux display-message -p 'Session: #{session_name}:#{window_index}.#{pane_index}'
else
    echo "MODE: manual (clipboard workflow)"
fi

Phase 2: Generate Handoff Summary

Create a structured summary of the current session. Use this format:

## What we're working on

- [Primary task or topic from this session]

## Current state

- [Where we left off - be specific]
- [Any pending questions or decisions]

## Key decisions made

- [Important choices, conclusions, or agreements]
- [Technical decisions with rationale]

## Recent changes

- [Files modified with brief description]
- [Commands run or actions taken]

## Important context

- [Technical constraints or requirements]
- [User preferences discovered]
- [Project-specific facts needed to continue]

## Next steps

- [Immediate next action to take]
- [Any blocked items or dependencies]

Guidelines for generating the handoff:

• Be concise but complete - this will be the only context in the new session
• Include file paths for any files that were being edited
• Mention any errors encountered and their status (fixed/pending)
• Note any user preferences expressed during the session
• Skip sections that don't apply (empty sections waste tokens)

Phase 3: Execute Wipe

Based on the detected environment:

If tmux is detected (automated):

Present the handoff summary to the user, then provide this script:
