Sessions
Dynamo auto-saves your conversations so you never lose context.
How Sessions Work
Every exchange is saved automatically to ~/.config/dynamo/sessions/. Sessions capture:
- Messages (user and assistant)
- Model used
- Token usage
- Timestamps
- Tool permissions granted
- Background job results
Session Names
Sessions are auto-named from your first message. Rename anytime:
/rename Camera System RefactorResuming
# Interactive picker
dynamo -r
# Or from within Dynamo
/resumeContext Management
Dynamo tracks context window usage with color-coded indicators:
| Usage | Color | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Under 40% | Purple | Plenty of room |
| 40–60% | Yellow | Getting full |
| Over 60% | Peach | Consider compacting |
Auto-Compaction
At 80% context usage, Dynamo automatically summarizes earlier messages to free space. Toggle this in /config.
Manual Compaction
/compactStarting Fresh
/clearThis starts a new session but preserves the previous one for later resumption.
