Add Timeline to New Session Prompt
Updated proposal to add timeline call to new session orientation for context continuity
Output
💡 You're Right - Timeline Should Be in the Prompt
I reconsidered. The problem you're describing is real: new sessions start completely blank while <turn-context> only shows 3 kontask titles - that's not enough context after hours of work.
The Real Value
- Full narrative - See the progression of work, not just 3 titles
- System events - Know about restarts, account switches
- Topic/domain context - Understand what areas were active
- Thread detection - Spot ongoing debugging sequences
- ~1 second - Timeline call is fast (1121ms in our test)
Proposed New Session Prompt
Read /konnectvol/CLAUDE.md to load project context,
read VIBE.md,
read MUST-READ-FIRST.md,
call konui_get_timeline with hours=4 to see recent work,
list konui MCP tools that are available,
check git status,
check which claude account is being used,
and then confirm you are ready to work.
Keep your response brief
Why hours=4?
- hours=1 - Too short, misses earlier context
- hours=4 - Good balance, covers a typical work session
- hours=8 - Full day, might be too much noise
- count=20 - Alternative: last 20 entries regardless of time
File to Edit
/konnectvol/konui/src/branding.ts:70
export const GV_CONFIG = {
newSessionPrompt: "...updated text...",
} as const;
