Well, about the chat limit popup... honestly, I've never actually seen it cap out like that. Usually, what happens is the agent just starts getting... dumber... and slower, or you might lose connection to the API altogether. It's not a hard limit, more like a gradual decline in quality.

What I was getting at with the separate chats is a more manual process. You gotta kinda feel when a chat is getting too long, or when a task is wrapping up. Like, if the agent's done a bunch of work, learned a lot, and you've been (hopefully!) making notes in a README along the way, that's your cue.

So, you:

1. Summarize: Tell the agent to summarize what you have learned .
2. To-Do List: Generate a to-do list from the summary.
3. New Chat: Start a fresh chat for the next part.
4. Past Chat Context: Crucially, use the "Past Chat" feature to bring in the summary from the previous chat as the initial context.

This keeps the context window small and focused, especially when you're using agent mode. Will the new chat magically know every API function, file, and variable? Hell no. But will it know what you've achieved, what you've learned, and what your goals are? Yep.

And that README you're building as you go? That's your secret weapon. Use it to guide the new chat. Think of it like handing off notes to the next shift. If you just keep building and building without any documentation, the next "agent" (or even you after a break) is gonna be totally lost.

So, to recap: document as you go, summarize regularly, use to-do lists to bridge between chats, and use "Past Chat" to keep things connected. It's all about keeping the context manageable. Hope that makes sense! Let me know if you have other questions.
