Name and resume a session

Machine verified A machine ran this on our install and checked the result against the CLI. A test report is linked. CLI 0.3.1, checked 2026-10-15.

Can I find this work tomorrow?

Give your work a name you will recognise, and resume it again later.

What you get: work you can pick up again by name, from this machine or from any session that checks the name out.

Ask Quox

Section titled “Ask Quox”

Say what to call it:

quox · talking to Quox

Make a slot called release-ec5cb6 so I can find this work again tomorrow.

▤ AOCL │ L1 identity complete · allowed · 1ms

▤ AOCL │ L3 policy gate complete · proceed · 11ms

◐ SLOT │ slot_create name=release-ec5cb6 ✔ SLOT │ slot_create name=release-ec5cb6 │ Created slot release-ec5cb6. · 6.6s

⛓ AEE │ envelope opened · stream_success

The slot  release-ec5cb6  now exists. It's free, so nothing is holding it yet.

I only created it. This conversation isn't attached to it. If you want tomorrow's
session to pick up this work, check the slot out from that session, or ask me to attach
this one now.

Quox made a slot: a named, durable address for the work. It stays on your Quox, so tomorrow you find it by name instead of by scrolling.

Do it yourself

Section titled “Do it yourself”

1. Name the conversation

Section titled “1. Name the conversation”

Start with a name: quox -n release-checks, or name it later with /rename release-checks. Next time, type /sessions in quox to list recent conversations with their names.

2. Give the work a durable address

Section titled “2. Give the work a durable address”

A slot outlives any one session. Any session can check it out, and messages sent to the slot reach whichever session holds it:

slots 
quox slot listNAME              STATE    HOLDER    CHANNEL    HOST    AGE    HEARTBEAT    STALE-SINCE    UNREADrelease-84130c    free     -         matrix     -       25s    -            -              -
From a real run on our demo organisation.

quox slot checkout <name> --session <your-session> holds it for this session. quox slot read <name> shows what was said there.

3. Continue from a script

Section titled “3. Continue from a script”

quox --print --conversation <id> "<prompt>" carries on a conversation without opening the terminal UI.

What just happened

Section titled “What just happened”

Conversation names are kept on this machine. A slot is kept on your Quox, in your organisation, so another machine or another session can pick the work up under the same name.

Check it yourself

Section titled “Check it yourself”

quox slot list shows every slot, who holds it and how many messages are unread.

Undo

Section titled “Undo”

A free slot holds nothing. Release a held one with quox slot release <name>.
