# AI use cases for Context Attachment Manager (chipfighter/context-attachment-manager) Repo: [chipfighter/context-attachment-manager](https://github.com/chipfighter/context-attachment-manager) | Use cases: 4 | Page: https://dedupedai.com/use-cases/chipfighter-context-attachment-manager/ A Codex and Claude Desktop plugin that lets you choose which past images are sent to the model with your next message, so long conversations stay small. This file holds every use case of this repo. Each one starts with a "## " heading and ends with its URL. - Keep a long Codex image task going by unchecking old images: https://dedupedai.com/use-cases/chipfighter-context-attachment-manager/keep-long-codex-image-task-running/ - Cut Claude Code session size in Claude Desktop by leaving out past images: https://dedupedai.com/use-cases/chipfighter-context-attachment-manager/trim-claude-code-session-images-in-claude-desktop/ - Let the model fetch only the images it needs with Auto-select: https://dedupedai.com/use-cases/chipfighter-context-attachment-manager/let-model-fetch-only-needed-codex-images/ - Find a past image by what it shows or what you said about it: https://dedupedai.com/use-cases/chipfighter-context-attachment-manager/find-past-image-by-what-you-remember/ ## How to keep a long Codex image task going by unchecking old images with Context Attachment Manager Repo: [chipfighter/context-attachment-manager](https://github.com/chipfighter/context-attachment-manager) | Difficulty: Intermediate | Time: 15 minutes | Basis: From the README Uncheck past images in the Context Assets panel so later requests stay small and the task keeps running. **Who it is for:** A designer or hobbyist generating many images with GPT in one long Codex task, whose requests start failing as the history grows. **The problem:** Codex resends every image in the task history with each request, so after a dozen or so images the connection drops and retries fail. **The outcome:** Unwanted images become short placeholders from the next message on, and the task and conversation stay the same. ### Steps 1. On the Plugins page in Codex, click Add a marketplace, enter `chipfighter/context-attachment-manager` as the Source, and click Add marketplace. 2. Install Context Attachment Manager from the list, then restart Codex if Context Assets does not appear. 3. Open a task, click Toggle side panel at the top right, open a new tab with +, and choose Context Assets under Plugins and MCPs. 4. If the panel says the plugin is not enabled, click Enable plugin and restart Codex. 5. Uncheck Send on images you no longer need, or uncheck a whole turn at the end of its line, then send your next message and check the savings card. ### Prompt to paste into your agent ```text Using the repo chipfighter/context-attachment-manager, install the plugin in the Codex desktop app for the task , then uncheck the images from turns older than in the Context Assets panel. Report the estimated size of the next request shown in the savings card, and confirm that the unchecked images appear as placeholders in the next message. ``` ### Caveat The README reports tests on Windows with Codex 26.1013 only, and macOS and Linux have not been tried in the desktop apps.

Run `claude plugin marketplace add chipfighter/context-attachment-manager` once. 2. Run `claude plugin install codex-attachment-manager@codex-attachment-manager`. 3. Start a new session in the Code tab of Claude Desktop, since the plugin only points sessions started after install at the engine. 4. Open the Context Attachment Manager panel, which opens in the built-in browser, and uncheck the images you no longer need. 5. Send your next message and check the card at the top for the estimated request size and savings. ### Prompt to paste into your agent ```text Using the repo chipfighter/context-attachment-manager, add the marketplace and install the plugin for Claude Code, then start a new session in Claude Desktop's Code tab for the project . Uncheck the images from earlier turns in the panel and confirm that the savings card shows a smaller estimated request than before. ``` ### Caveat Claude Desktop does not ship Node, so without Codex you must install Node 24 or later first, and the plugin was tested on Windows only.

Open Context Assets in the side panel of a Codex task. 2. Confirm that Auto-select at the bottom of the panel is on, which is the default for new tasks. 3. Mark any reference image, such as a face or style sample, as Send every turn so it goes with every message. 4. When the model replies with need IMG-xxx, click the ID in the bar at the top of the panel to bring that image back for the current turn. 5. Check the panel for images the model fetched in the latest turn. ### Prompt to paste into your agent ```text Using the repo chipfighter/context-attachment-manager in Codex, keep Auto-select on for the task and mark as Send every turn. Ask the model to continue the image work, then list which IDs it requested with need IMG-xxx and confirm that the fetched images are the only earlier ones sent that turn. ``` ### Caveat Auto-select works only with the Codex and Claude Code proxy in place, so an install that stops because openai_base_url is already set will not enable it.

Open Context Assets in the side panel of a Codex task, or the panel in Claude Desktop. 2. Type what the image shows or what you said back then, such as best face, in the search box. 3. Or pick a filter such as Uploaded, Generated, or a scene like rainy blue night. 4. Click the image to preview it, then check Send so it goes with your next message. 5. Send the message and confirm the placeholder for the other images in the next request. ### Prompt to paste into your agent ```text Using the repo chipfighter/context-attachment-manager, open the Context Assets panel for the task and search for . Report the ID, turn, and source of the matching image, then check Send on it and confirm the next request includes that image. ``` ### Caveat The search depends on notes the model writes into its replies, which the panel reads from local conversation records, so images from before 0.8 may have no notes to match.
