Capsule Manager is for people whose work outlasts a single conversation. A coding investigation may involve a repository map, decisions about an API, open bugs, and commands already attempted. A research project can accumulate source notes, definitions, and questions that should not be lost when a chat becomes unwieldy. A capsule keeps that handoff material together so a later session can start with the useful context instead of reconstructing it from memory.
It is especially useful when switching between assistants or dividing work into separate threads. For example, a developer can save the agreed data model and unresolved migration risks before opening a fresh debugging chat. A consultant can keep a client-specific brief separate from reusable discovery prompts. A writer can preserve a character sheet and editorial constraints while drafting chapters in different sessions. These examples are starting points: save only information appropriate to retain, and avoid placing credentials or confidential material into a capsule.
To make one, gather the context that would help another session continue: the goal, relevant background, decisions made, constraints, and the next concrete action. Create a capsule with a recognizable project name, add tags that reflect its subject or stage, and save the notes. Before resuming, search by name or tag, open the matching capsule, and review it for stale assumptions. Update the decisions and next step after meaningful progress, rather than treating an old snapshot as authoritative. Export a backup when you need an external copy, and remove capsules that are no longer useful. The tool stores these notes in the browser, so using another browser profile or clearing local site data may make them unavailable. A short handoff is often easier to maintain than a complete transcript: include links or filenames that matter, summarize why a decision was made, and mark unresolved questions explicitly. That makes the saved capsule easier to scan and less likely to carry irrelevant history into the next conversation.
Example: A developer can preserve an API decision and open migration questions before moving debugging into a fresh chat.
They are stored in the browser profile and local site data used to create them.
Yes. Use a recognizable capsule name and tags to distinguish projects or work stages.
No. Review the saved material and add it to the conversation where you want to continue.
Include the goal, decisions, constraints, references, and next action; leave out credentials.
Browser-local data is not automatically synchronized; use the available export or backup workflow.
