1. **Summarizing:** Using an AI model, it condenses earlier parts of the conversation.
4242
2. **Retaining Essentials:** The goal is to reduce the overall token count while keeping the key information from the summarized messages.
4343
3. **Maintaining Flow:** This allows the AI to have a more coherent understanding of the entire conversation, even very long ones.
44+
4. **Preserving First Message:** The first message containing slash commands or initial context is always preserved during condensing, ensuring critical initial instructions aren't lost.

**Important Considerations:**
4647
* **Summarization Impact:** While original messages are preserved if you use [Checkpoints](/features/checkpoints) to rewind, the summarized version is what's used in ongoing LLM calls to keep the context manageable.
4748
* **Cost:** The AI call to perform the summarization incurs a cost. This cost is included in the context condensing metrics displayed in the UI.
49+
* **First Message Protection:** The initial message with slash commands or setup instructions will never be condensed.

# Roo Code 3.28 Combined Release Notes
13+
14+
This version introduces Task Sync & Roomote Control for monitoring and controlling tasks from your phone, plus Roo Code Cloud integration features, enhanced chat editing, conversation preservation improvements, and multiple bug fixes.
15+
16+
## Task Sync & Roomote Control
17+
18+
Introducing our new cloud connectivity features that let you **monitor and control long-running tasks from your phone** - no more waiting at your desk! ([#7799](https://github.com/RooCodeInc/Roo-Code/pull/7799), [#7805](https://github.com/RooCodeInc/Roo-Code/pull/7805), [#7850](https://github.com/RooCodeInc/Roo-Code/pull/7850)):
19+
20+
> **Important**: Roo Code remains **completely free and open source**. Task Sync and Roomote Control are optional supplementary services that connect your local VS Code to the cloud - all processing still happens in your VS Code instance.
21+
22+

**[Roomote Control](/roo-code-cloud/roomote-control) ([14-Day Free Trial, then $20/month](/roo-code-cloud/billing-subscriptions#pro-plan-20month))**:
31+
- **Continue Tasks Remotely**: Keep tasks going from your phone - respond to prompts, fix errors, approve actions
32+
- **Full Chat Control**: Interact with the chatbox as though you were in your IDE
33+
- **Start/Stop Tasks**: Launch new tasks or terminate running ones from anywhere
34+
- **Complete Control**: Full bidirectional control of your local VS Code from anywhere
35+
36+
Task Sync enables monitoring your local development environment from any device. Add Roomote Control for full remote control capabilities - whether you're on another computer, tablet, or smartphone.
37+
38+
> **📚 Documentation**: See [Task Sync](/roo-code-cloud/task-sync), [Roomote Control Guide](/roo-code-cloud/roomote-control), and [Billing & Subscriptions](/roo-code-cloud/billing-subscriptions).
