Resume or start fresh?
Resume this session continues the same agent conversation with its recorded identity and project folder. Use it after the original process has stopped.
Start fresh with a handoff… starts a separate conversation from a brief you review. Choose this when you want a fresh context window, another agent or a deliberate transition. It does not silently resume the source conversation.
Prepare and review a handoff
Open the action in Session info. A missing or outdated handoff is prepared for review. Choose the generation provider and regenerate if needed. Review the summary, unresolved questions, next steps, project note and timestamped repository snapshot before launch.
Generation sends a bounded sample of recorded history and notes to the selected provider using its CLI sign-in and allowance. It runs separately from your active session. Ordinary status refresh does not generate AI content.
A freshness notice identifies newer activity or notes. Updating a manually edited handoff preserves a replacement draft for review; Restore previous text can recover the prior version. Generation errors leave the existing handoff intact.
Launch the next session
Choose the receiving agent and folder, inspect the exact initial prompt and start when ready. If the original folder no longer exists, select another. The receiving agent should verify repository information rather than assume the snapshot is still current.
Launch reviews can offer an isolated Git workspace. See Project tools for what an isolated workspace includes and excludes.
Copy, export or save
Use the handoff’s actions to copy, export or save reviewed content as a separate note. A saved snapshot does not change when the original handoff is updated. Reusing a note treats it as reference knowledge; it is not an implicit continuation command.
Bulk generation
Select eligible sessions with Bulk actions → Generate handoffs…. Review the provider and usage before starting. Sessions are processed one at a time. Stop after current does not discard completed results. Failures are shown individually. Edited handoffs retain their text and receive a replacement candidate for review.
Generation boundaries
AI generation uses provider-specific noninteractive modes with tool restrictions. It is not a new work request in your running terminal. Provider login, account policy and timeouts still apply. Read and correct generated claims about completed work, tests or deployments before sending them onward.
