# Channel Context Files

Last updated: 2026-04-25 15:00

Each file here captures persistent context for a specific chat channel (group chat, DM, Slack channel, etc.).

## Purpose
When a session resets, Harvey loses all prior conversation history for that channel. These files bridge the gap — they capture:
- Active threads/topics being discussed
- Open questions awaiting answers
- Parked/paused projects
- Key decisions made
- Recent conversation summary

## Naming Convention
`<platform>-<readable-name>.md` — e.g., `telegram-research.md`, `slack-emilys-team.md`

## Rules
1. **Read on session start:** First thing in any channel session, read the matching channel file
2. **Update before session ends:** Summarize what happened, update open threads
3. **Keep it compact:** This isn't a full transcript. It's working context (~1-2K tokens max)
4. **Prune regularly:** Remove resolved threads, old topics
