Terminals & Agent Sessions

Every workspace in Tracigo has its own terminals — isolated from other workspaces, tracked in the sidebar, with built-in awareness of AI agents and build tools.

Terminal basics

Open a new terminal with ⌘T (when a terminal is focused in VS Code). Each terminal runs in the workspace's worktree directory, so your commands operate on the correct branch and files.

Terminals persist across tab switches. Start Claude in one workspace, switch to another, and your Claude session keeps running. The sidebar shows the status of every active terminal.

Agent tracking

When you run an AI coding agent in a terminal, Tracigo detects it automatically. The workspace card in the sidebar shows a status pill:

• Running — the agent is actively producing output
• Idle — the agent is waiting for your input
• Completed — a build or command finished (auto-dismisses after 5 seconds)

This works with 14 supported agents:

No configuration needed — Tracigo recognizes these commands when you type them.

Build tool monitoring

Beyond AI agents, Tracigo monitors common development commands: npm, yarn, pnpm, cargo, go, make, docker, terraform, kubectl, git, and 30+ more. When a build runs, you see its status in the sidebar without switching tabs.

Custom monitored commands

If your project uses tools Tracigo doesn't monitor by default (e.g., cdk deploy, nx build), add them in project settings:

1. Go to the project page → Settings tab
2. Under Monitored Commands, type the command and press Enter
3. The command is now tracked in all workspace terminals

Session history

Tracigo discovers past AI agent sessions from your machine. When you open a workspace, the sessions panel shows previous conversations that happened in this workspace's directory — across all supported agents.

Each session shows:

• Agent name — which agent was used
• Title — the first message from the conversation
• Last active — when the session was last updated
• Resume command — click to resume the session in a new terminal

This means you never lose track of past agent work. Even if you closed the terminal weeks ago, the session is still discoverable.

Renaming sessions

Sessions default to showing the first message as their title. To give a session a more meaningful name, right-click and rename it. Renamed sessions keep their custom name across app restarts.

Launching agents with a prompt

For supported agents, Tracigo can launch an agent with an initial prompt directly. This is useful when you want to kick off work without manually typing the first message.
