[SSR Agent] Issue Fix (19239): Update /clear command docs to include context reset - #28847
Conversation
…context reset $fixes google-gemini#19239 google-gemini#19239 ### Context & Problem The documentation for the `/clear` command in `docs/reference/commands.md` incorrectly stated that it only clears the visual terminal screen and scrollback, failing to mention that it also clears the active conversation context and starts a new session. ### Detailed Changes - Updated the `/clear` command description in [commands.md](file:///usr/local/google/home/joneba/ssr-prototype/gcli-intern-project/tools/caretaker-agent/evals/pr-generation/run_outputs/onboarded_triaged_3.5_flash/agent_environments/issue_19239/tmp/eval/gemini-cli-clone/docs/reference/commands.md) to clarify that running `/clear` resets the agent's conversation context and starts a new session in addition to clearing the visible terminal screen. - Clarified the keyboard shortcut behavior, explicitly explaining that **Ctrl+L** only performs a visual clear of the screen while preserving the active conversation context, and that `/clear` must be used to start a new session. ### Verification - Reviewed the documentation changes to ensure they are clear, accurate, and completely satisfy the expected behavior in the specification.

Code Review
This pull request updates the documentation in docs/reference/commands.md to clarify the behavior of the /clear command and the Ctrl+L keyboard shortcut. Specifically, it explains that /clear resets the active agent conversation context and starts a new session, whereas Ctrl+L only visually clears the terminal display while preserving the conversation context. There are no review comments, and I have no feedback to provide.
