Working in a session

This is the loop you spend most of your time in. A session is one conversation with one agent, running on one of your machines — and everything here is about driving it well from wherever you happen to be.

The basics

• Starting a session — choosing the machine, folder, agent and model.
• Permissions — what the agent may do without asking. Worth reading before you leave one running unattended.
• Queueing and delivery — sending while the agent is busy, and what happens to a message that cannot be delivered yet.
• Steering — correcting a turn already in flight instead of interrupting it.
• Approvals and the inbox — where requests for permission surface.

Settings and modes

• Session settings — the closest thing to a settings reference.
• Session modes

Coming back to a session

Several things sound alike here, so one page owns the distinction:

• Continuing a session — start here if you are unsure which of the below you want.
• Resuming an inactive session
• Handoff between machines
• Forking
• Switching agent mid-session
• Attaching from a terminal
