When you reach the context limit in Goose Desktop:
1. You'll see a notification that the context limit has been reached
2. You'll need to start a new session to continue your conversation
1. Goose will automatically start summarizing the conversation to make room.
2. You'll see a message that says **"Preparing summary..."**, followed by **"Session summarized."**
3. Once complete, you'll have the option to **"View or edit summary."**
4. You can then continue the session with the summarized context in place.
:::tip
You can access previous context by:
- Referencing information from your previous sessions
- Using the [Memory extension](/docs/tutorials/memory-mcp) to maintain context across sessions and reference information from previous conversations
:::note
In Goose Desktop, context management is handled automatically.
You wont see options to `clear` or `truncate` — Goose always uses summarization when the context limit is reached.
