### Describe the request Two related niggles for heavy users. 1. Grabbing the thing I was just on When I @ previous chats / bits of the project, theres loads of stuff in the list. The chat or element I made a minute ago is buried. Feels like relevance ranking rather than newest first. I just want to quickly point at exactly what I was working on. 1. Same topic, new sub-bit, clean chat Say Im on a page tab and now I want to drill into one field, then the drop-down under it. Same area, new sub-element. I dont want to re-explain the whole setup, and I dont want a new agent chat to inherit all the sort-of-related fluff from the last chat either. More specific referencing = less tokens wasted. @ is the workaround today but its clunky when youve got a long project history. Ideal would be spawning a fresh agentic chat that can reference / infer the current working context without pulling in the full window. Back on topic, but on the new bit. Seen related threads here (bugs / subagent from another chat) but not this exact ask: > [@@past chats symbol missing chats](https://forum.cursor.com/t/past-chats-symbol-missing-chats/147825): > > Where does the bug appear (feature/product)? Cursor IDE Describe the Bug the @past chats chat symbol isn’t working. It displays no chats, or doesn’t display the most recent ones. Steps to Reproduce Set up a scenario where there are many chats from a wide variety of dates. Expected Behavior All chats should present as options.

I currently have to do this manually as I do not know how to get an agent to continuously refer to the same agent without starting with a new context every time. A… Thanks Dan
