What is the issue?
Claude has a slash command /clear to clear conversation history, is there an equivalent?
I end up quitting & starting codex again, there must be something more efficient. Thanks

Not sure if this is what Olimart meant, however, /clear not only starts a new conversation but also removes all previous lines in the console, making it look fresh again. I kind of miss this feature too.
thanks @yuqie6 that will do it.
/newhelps for starting fresh, but I still miss a real way to clean up old history/threads after the fact. I ended up making a small local workaround for that: https://github.com/hanityx/threadlens@hanityx, we recently added
/clearas a way to both clear the terminal and start a new thread.
