Continue in a new chat without losing anything — writes a compact handoff to paste into a fresh conversation. Use whenever the user wants to move to a new chat or conversation, hits usage limits, says replies got slow or Claude forgets earlier details, or the conversation has grown long.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Fresh start Every message re-sends the whole conversation, so a long one uses up limits fast and recalls its early details worse. A new conversation that starts from a short handoff costs a fraction and stays sharp. ## When to offer it - The user asks to start over, hits a limit, or says replies got slow or forgetful. - The conversation is clearly long: many long turns, large pasted files or documents. Offer it once, in one sentence, at a natural break. Don't interrupt a short conversation or a task that is nearly done. ## The handoff Write it in the user's language, under 300 words, inside one code block so it copies cleanly: 1. **Goal** — one line. 2. **Decisions so far** — bullets, each with its reason in a few words. 3. **Current state** — what exists now: files, drafts, versions, results. Quote only short snippets that the next step needs; name everything else. 4. **Next step** — the very next thing to do, then any open questions. 5. **Must not be lost** — names, numbers, constraints, preferences, things that were tried and failed. Then give the saving in one line, as an estimate: "This conversation is about …

How to install
mdr add egorfedorov/claude-context-optimizer/fresh-start@sha256:271a6c19aa25ebcfThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261017.dfb62c2, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
