alt Hacker News> There would be nothing lost if they said „If you click yes, we will prune your old thinking making Claude faster and saving you tons of tokens“. Most people would say yes probably so why not ask them
The irony is that Claude Design does this. I did a big test building a design system, and when I came back to it, it had in the chat window "Do you need all this history for your next block of work? Save 120K tokens and start a new chat. Claude will still be able to use the design system." Or words to that effect.
This is exactly what also confused me. I had the exact same prompt in Claude code as well, and the no option implies you can also keep the whole history. But clicking keep apparently only ever kept the user and assistant messages not the whole actual thinking parts of the conversation
