Summarize this chat so I can continue in a new one
A compact handoff of decisions, context, and next steps to paste into a fresh conversation.
The prompt
Summarize this conversation so I can continue it in a new chat.
Write a handoff note I can paste into a fresh conversation, containing:
1. Goal — what we're working on and why.
2. Context — key facts, constraints, and preferences I've shared.
3. Decisions made — and the reasons.
4. Current state — what's finished, with the latest versions of any important text or code.
5. Open questions.
6. Next steps — in order.
Be complete but compact. Use exact wording for anything I approved, and don't add anything we didn't discuss.
Highlighted [brackets] are blanks to replace with your own details.

How this prompt is built
This prompt follows the RTF structure (Role, Task, Format). RTF tells the model who to be, what to do and what shape the answer should take. It is the quickest structure that still gives noticeably better results than a bare request.
