First Session

A session is the durable unit of work in Inferoa. It keeps the transcript, workspace identity, prompt epochs, tool traces, managed resources, and endpoint evidence together.

Start​

inferoa

Describe a concrete task in the composer. For coding work, include the outcome you want and any constraints that matter:

Inspect this package, find the test entrypoints, and add a missing docs build check.

You can also start a session and submit a prompt from the shell:

inferoa "Inspect this package and add a missing docs build check."

Use Modes Deliberately​

  • Use plain chat for small questions and one-turn inspections.
  • Run /loop when you want to start a recursive long-horizon loop.
  • Use /plan set when scope is ambiguous and you want a plan before execution.
  • Use /loop run discover when the task is experiment-shaped and needs repeated measurement.
  • Use /doctor status when checking the local endpoint setup before a session.

Inspect Evidence​

During or after the session:

/context                      Show context and compression state
/tools last                   Show the latest tool trace
/tokenmaxxing                 Show token, cache, RTK, and routing pressure
/sessions all                 Show active and archived sessions

The session log is designed to prove what happened: which files were read, which tools ran, which endpoint handled the request, and which artifacts were stored. See Evidence and sessions for the event log model.

Resume Later​

Open the session picker from the TUI:

/sessions resume

Or run the top-level /resume slash command to attach to a previous session. The resumed session keeps its workspace identity and event log; you can keep using /loop, /plan, /loop run discover, and the rest of the TUI surfaces without losing continuity.

Next Steps​

  • Loop mode is the loop-engineering surface for recursive long-horizon loops.
  • Plan mode turns ambiguous scope into an inspectable plan before execution begins.
  • Research loops under Loop mode run benchmark-style iteration when the task depends on repeated measurement.
  • Coding workflow describes the recommended inspect-edit-verify loop for repository work.
  • Evidence and sessions explains the event log model and how to troubleshoot session state.
  • Context optimization covers compression, code intelligence, and how Inferoa keeps the next turn focused.
