Session Management

Overview

Manage agent sessions in Gas Town: initialize new sessions, handle handoffs between agents, revive dead sessions (seance), and maintain persistent identity across ephemeral Polecat sessions.

When to Use

  • Initializing new agent sessions
  • Handing off work between agents
  • Reviving a dead or stuck agent session
  • Managing Polecat identity persistence across sessions

Session Operations

  1. Init: Start new session with role and hook setup
  2. Attach: Connect agent to Mayor for coordination
  3. Handoff: Transfer work between agents with context
  4. Seance: Revive a dead agent's session state
  5. Resume: Continue from last checkpoint

Agent Session Types

  • Crew: Long-lived sessions, full state persistence
  • Polecat: Ephemeral sessions, persistent identity, state via hooks
  • Dog: Infrastructure sessions, minimal state

Key Commands

  • gt mayor attach - Attach to Mayor coordination
  • gt handoff - Hand off work to another agent
  • gt seance - Revive dead session
  • gt prime - Prime agent with context
