New Session Prompt: Add Timeline Context?
Evaluating whether konui_get_timeline should be added to the new session orientation prompt
Output
🤔 Should Timeline Be in New Session Prompt?
Current Prompt
Read /konnectvol/CLAUDE.md to load project context, read VIBE.md, list konui MCP tools that are available, check git status, check which claude account is being used, read MUST-READ-FIRST.md and then confirm you are ready to work. Keep your response brief
Analysis
✅ Arguments FOR Adding Timeline
- Context continuity - Claude sees what was worked on recently
- Avoids duplicate work - Can see if something was just completed
- Thread awareness - Can identify ongoing debugging sequences
- System event visibility - Sees recent restarts, account switches
- Scope awareness - Knows if recent work was product vs greatvibe
⚠️ Arguments AGAINST
- Already in turn-context - The
<turn-context>tag already shows recent kontasks - Token cost - Timeline call returns ~1-2K tokens, adds latency
- Redundancy - Much of this overlaps with existing orientation steps
- Prompt bloat - New session prompt is already 7 steps
💡 Better Alternative?
The <turn-context> tag is already injected into every prompt and shows:
- Active flows with their types
- Last 3 kontask titles ("recent" field)
- Approved task count
This is lighter weight than a full timeline call and happens automatically.
Recommendation
Don't add to new session prompt.
The konui_get_timeline tool is better used on-demand when Claude needs deeper historical context than what's in <turn-context>. The existing auto-injected context is sufficient for session orientation.
If you want richer timeline in the prompt, consider enhancing <turn-context> instead - that way it's automatic and doesn't require Claude to make an extra tool call.
