Deal Cursor folks, there is big value in starting new composers. Also in switching AIs mid-conversation. To quote another person from the forums: > The temptation (a bit like putting off your git commits) is to wait for something to be “101% done” before you move on to the next topic and session. But if wayward issues and bugfixes derail your coding, you can end up with very long Composer sessions. > From my experience, not only do these make the UI **very** sluggish, they also degrade the quality of the output. My most joyous experiences with Composer tend to be near the top of a session, and the hair-pulling parts tend to be when the session is getting too long – that’s when the hallucinations and the circular changes happen (“Ah yes, A will not work, you must B [applies]”; “Ah yes, B will not work, you must A”; repeat). You can also spot this when the model starts spontaneously answering an earlier question instead of the one you just asked… > DO NOT FEAR to open a new session. Ask the AI to summarize the conversation, and paste it into a new session. Anyway, i wish there was a button that makes the AI sumamrize the session, and moves the summary as well as any included context we had, into a new composer. Actually Cursor can already do this. When a chat gets long enough, Cursor will automatically show a button to do this - I just wish that we had access to this button, it feels very valuable to do it more frequently and on demand. - Sometimes Claude gets stupid and you need to start a new session to unstupid it. - Sometimes you wish to briefly switch to Deepseek. - Sometimes you are still working on the same code, but wish to make a break, and change the topic of conversation. ---

@KamilTheDev has answered this in a separate topic [Shortcut to add same files used in previous Composer chat - #5 by KamilTheDev](https://forum.cursor.com/t/shortcut-to-add-same-files-used-in-previous-composer-chat/47915/5) This feature already exists! However it doesn’t also carry over the context/files used. If you are reading this, go vote on his feature request 😉 ![49f107d076c63bd8293b9355d0febaaf3a4504c3_2_690x460](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/cursor1/original/3X/c/b/cb2956311a5b7f078a3dc05afba2e0c50c7e1778.png) ---
