Sessions

A session is one conversation with the terminal inside a deal. Closing the tab doesn't end it: work you started keeps going, and when you open the session again the whole conversation is there, right where you left it.

Start and resume sessions

Each deal keeps a list of its conversations. New on the list starts a blank one. Or pick one of the quick-starts, which opens the session with the command already typed, so you can send it as-is or edit it first.

With a conversation open, New offers two choices: "Blank conversation", or "Continue from here", which opens a new conversation carrying everything in this one and leaves this one as it is. "Continue from here" becomes available once the conversation has a finished turn behind it.

Starting a conversation from the command palette (⌘K / Ctrl+K) opens it in a new tab, so the one you were reading stays open.

To pick an old conversation back up, open it from the list; the whole conversation is there. Sessions name themselves and carry a one-line summary, so you can tell them apart without opening them. A row also shows "Working" while the terminal is running, "Needs input" when it's waiting on you, and "New activity" when something finished since you last opened it.

Idle recap

After a few minutes of inactivity, a one-line recap appears above the composer: the goal, the current task, and the next action. It disappears after your next message.

Deal memory

Each deal has its own memory: facts, parties, decisions, and your feedback carry across sessions and teammates, so nobody re-explains the deal at the start of each conversation. The terminal adds to it quietly as it works.

There's no separate memory screen; you work with memory through the conversation:

• To see what it knows, ask: "what do you remember about this deal?"
• To save a fact deliberately, run /deal:remember.
• To fix something, say what's wrong and what's right, then ask it to repeat what it now remembers if you want to confirm the correction took.
• What belongs where: memory holds the deal's story and decisions; numbers and documents belong in files, where you can see and check them.

Deal memory is shared with everyone who has access to the deal.

Admins can also set firm context for the whole organization, which every session in every deal receives as background.

Rate a session

Now and then the terminal asks how Cap Orbit is doing this session: press 1 for Bad, 2 for Fine, or 3 for Good. It then offers a note in your own words, which goes with the rating rather than to the terminal. Run /rate to rate a session whenever you want to.

Update notices

When commands are published while you're working, a notice says so: run /reload-plugins to pick them up in the conversation you're already in.

A session you open on an older version says so too, and that notice asks for a new session instead. Each notice names the fix it needs.

Next steps

• Commands: the / menu and the four command verbs.
• The composer: keyboard shortcuts, sending while the terminal works, and interrupting.
• Firm context: background for the whole organization, received by every session.
