Context

By default, Nito receives only the prompt you type. context lets you opt into sending more, and check what the current setting is.
  • on lets future ask calls include a short, harness-generated summary of the relevant task or conversation. It is a generated summary, not a verbatim transcript.
  • off returns to prompt-only.
  • status reports the current preference.

What Is and Is Not Sent

  • By default: only your prompt.
  • With context on: your prompt plus a short generated summary, for ask only. It does not affect Fusion, and it never changes your harness’s active model.
  • A per-call --history or --no-history on ask overrides this preference for that call.

Why It Is Best-Effort

The preference lives in your visible conversation state, so it is not durable. It can reset after things like a restart, sign-out, a new conversation, or a context compaction. Treat it as a per-conversation convenience, not a persistent account setting, and confirm it with context status when it matters.

Mode

mode reports how the current conversation is routed. By default your conversation is in explicit-ask mode: your harness stays primary and only reaches Nito when you run a Nito command. Fully Nito-routed work happens in a separate process you start with session; entering or leaving that cannot switch your current conversation or move hidden state into it.
