One potential reason for sessions being abandoned within 60 seconds in my experience is realizing you forgot to set something in the environment: github token missing, tool set for the language not on the path, etc. Claude doesn't provide elegant ways to fix those things in-session so I'll just exit, fix up and start Claude again. It does have the option to continue a previous session but there's typically no point in these "oops I forgot that" cases.

this jumped out at me too. What counts as "abandoned"? How do you know the goal was not simply met?

I have longer threads that I don't want to pollute with side quests. I will pull up multiple other chats and ask one or two questions about completely tangential or unrelated things.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

It gave you a couple neat ideas and you're complaining.

Some people just can't take a compliment, especially if it's generated. (I'm one of them.) Still, /insight did give useful help, but I wasn't able to target it to specific repo/sessions.

Isn't it using the sessions in the cwd where you're running it?

I 100% agree that we need tools to understand and audit these workflows for opportunities. Nice work. TBH, I am very hesitant to upload my CC logs to a third-party service.

you can host the whole thing locally :)

I missed that important detail :) thanks

I abandon sessions when I ask for something then it spins for a minute, fills up 40% of the context window and comes back with the totally wrong questions and I don't like the approach it took to get there. I don't answer any of the questions and just kill the session and start a new one with a different prompt.
