Under each title are the number of messages and your first message. /resume oidc opens the list already filtered.

A conversation that worked in a worktree shows worktree swift-running-fox and goes back into it.

To open the last conversation straight away, start Jinion with -c or --continue:

jinion -c

TitlesCopy Anchor Link

Jinion gives each conversation a title of a few words, such as Flaky checkout e2e test, once the first turn ends. Until then, the title is the first line of your first message.

As the conversation moves on, Jinion names it again, so the title keeps up with the work: when the messages you have sent double, after 20 minutes with new ones, and when you accept a plan.

The title shows in /resume and on the right of the status line.

Rename a conversationCopy Anchor Link

To give the conversation a title of your own, type /rename and the title:

/rename checkout flake

Jinion says Renamed the conversation to “checkout flake”. A title you give stays: Jinion doesn't rename the conversation again.

/rename alone has Jinion name the conversation now from what it is about, and it goes on naming it as the conversation moves on.

Start a new oneCopy Anchor Link

/clear, or /new, saves the current conversation and starts a new one. What runs in the background stops.
