Conversation History vs. Project Rules
Section titled “Conversation History vs. Project Rules”Conversation History and Project Rules solve different problems.
- Conversation History stores chats, titles, and message threads.
- Project Rules stores per-file display naming, file lock state, and project rules.
When Genie detects a real project switch, it preserves the old chat in Conversation History and starts a fresh chat for the newly active project.
Use Project Rules when you want Genie to remember file-specific behavior over time instead of just reopening an old conversation.
