Hi, i'm not sure i understand what's difference between "Intelligent Context Condensing" and /newtask command. ? When it's the "condense" happening and why ? What is the difference ?

I *think* the condense is referring to the /smol command

Firstly, wdym by "i think" ? 2ndly, /smol is the same as /newtask, am i right ? So, Intelligent Condensing is just an automatization of /newtask & /smol ? If there's a difference, i'd appreciate if someone could explain when to use newtask, smol, and intelligent condense.

I meant think because I wasn't sure.

I looked at Cline's documentation to confirm - this page differentiates between the two: https://docs.cline.bot/features/slash-commands/smol#smol-command

I opened this issue for us to add more clarity to our docs: https://github.com/Kilo-Org/docs/issues/46

Thanks for replying, i have read their documentation and i'm understanding that the only key difference between those two is that /newtask will preserve history of my conv by throwing the summary into a new task, while /smol will replace the actual conversation with the summary.

But now i still have a question: what is Intelligent Condensing ? an automatized /smol ?

e.g: when reaching the pre-set limit of window context, it automatically runs the process of the /smol command?

Yes and I think maybe it wasn't out until now - I think it got reverted at some point
