Managing conversationslink

Resume prior development threads, scope active histories to local workspaces, and fork conversations to experiment with alternate architectures.

Workspace scopinglink

To maintain context hygiene, Antigravity CLI scopes conversation histories directly to your current working directory. When you launch agy from a specific directory, the agent only displays and resume sessions associated with that specific local repository or subdirectory.

This prevents context pollution, ensuring that the agent’s semantic memory and token limits remain focused solely on the relevant codebase.

Resuming sessionslink

You can return to a prior conversation at any time to continue an implementation, refine a solution, or recover from an interrupted session.

Antigravity CLI supports both an interactive Session Picker TUI overlay and direct command-line flags (agy -c / agy --continue) to resume threads instantly based on your active workspace.

For a complete walkthrough of the interactive picker, keyboard shortcuts, and details on how the directory-scoped session cache works, see the dedicated Resume Command Guide.

Branching with /forklink

When engineering a complex feature, you may want to explore multiple design alternatives without losing your progress. The /fork command enables safe, parallel experimentation.

/fork

(Alias: /branch)

The /fork command clones your entire conversation history up to the current turn into a new, independent session.

Forking workflowlink

1. Type /fork inside the prompt panel and press Enter.
2. The CLI allocates a new unique session ID and duplicates your existing workspace state and agent thread.
3. Your active terminal switches immediately to the new branch.
4. If the experiment fails, run /resume to restore your original, stable conversation branch.
