Sessions

IaC Code automatically persists every conversation to disk. You can resume any previous session to continue where you left off.

Resuming Sessions

Interactive: /resume

In the REPL, use the /resume command:

/resume

This opens an interactive picker showing recent sessions for the current project, with the session name as the title when set, otherwise the last prompt or first prompt fallback.

To resume a specific session by exact session ID, unique ID prefix, or unique session name:

/resume abc123

Naming Sessions

Use /rename to give the active session a stable, human-readable name:

/rename deploy-prod

The name is stored in the session metadata. It appears in the welcome banner when you resume, in the exit hint, and in the /resume picker.

You can resume by name when it uniquely identifies a session:

/resume deploy-prod
iac-code --resume deploy-prod

CLI: --resume and --continue

Resume a specific session from the command line by exact session ID, unique ID prefix, or unique session name:

iac-code --resume <session-id-or-name>

Resume the most recent session:

iac-code --continue

The short flags -r and -c are also available:

iac-code -r <session-id-or-name>
iac-code -c

Cross-project Sessions

When a session belongs to a different project directory, IaC Code does not hot-swap the working directory. Instead, it prints the command to resume in the correct context:

cd /path/to/other/project && iac-code --resume <session-id>

This command is also copied to the clipboard when possible.

Interruption Recovery

If a session was interrupted mid-execution (e.g., the process was killed while a tool was running), IaC Code detects the orphaned tool calls on resume and appends synthetic error results. This allows the model to recover gracefully without getting stuck waiting for tool output that will never arrive.

Session Picker

The /resume picker displays:

Column	Description
Title	Session name when set, otherwise last user prompt or first prompt
Branch	Git branch at the time of the session
Time	Last modification time

Sessions are sorted by most recent first. You can type to filter by title content.
