Session Details

The Session Details panel provides a high-level overview of a session including its summary, statistics, and files worked on.

Accessing Session Details

• Click any session in the Sidebar
• Click any session in Sessions Explorer
• Command: Klip: Open Session Details (klip.openSessionDetails)

Summary

Klip can generate intelligent summaries to help you remember context and track progress.

Summary Sources

Agent	Built-in Summary	AI-Generated
Claude	Yes - extracted from session compression	Yes
Codex	No	Yes
Gemini	No	Yes

Claude sessions include a "Default Summary" extracted from the session file's compression data. For all agents, you can generate richer AI-powered summaries.

Generating Summaries

Button	Command	Purpose
Quick Summary	klip.generateSummary	Update existing summary with new activity
Full Summary	klip.generateSummaryFull	Comprehensive summary of entire session
Recent Activity	klip.summarizeRecent	Quick catch-up on last few turns (not saved)

Summary Models

Configure the AI model for summary generation:

Setting: klip.defaultSummaryModel

Model	Provider	Notes
gemini-2.5-flash	Gemini	Fast, low cost (default)
gemini-2.5-pro	Gemini	Higher quality
claude-sonnet-4-5-20250929	Claude	Balanced
claude-haiku-4-5-20251015	Claude	Fast, low cost

Authentication:

• Claude models: Use Claude CLI authentication (claude login)
• Gemini models: Require Gemini API key

See API Keys for setup.

Cost Management

Reduce API costs by adjusting context settings:

"klip.summary.full.context.maxContextMessages": 24,
"klip.summary.full.context.maxMessageChars": 900,
"klip.summary.full.context.includeToolCalls": true

Tips:

• Use Gemini 2.5 Flash or Claude Haiku for lower costs
• Reduce maxContextMessages to 10-15
• Disable includeToolCalls if you don't need command output details

Auto-Generation

Automatically generate summaries for sessions without one:

"klip.autoGenerateSummaries": true

caution

Use with caution - this consumes API credits in the background.
