When to continue#

Continue a session when the current workspace is still solving the same task. This keeps context, questions, and previous tool output in one place.

Good reasons to continue#

  • The agent needs product clarification.
  • A test failed after the first attempt.
  • The diff is mostly right but needs a targeted correction.
  • You want the agent to run one more verification step.

What to say#

Be specific. Point to the failing file, test, behavior, or review concern. Ask for the smallest follow-up change needed to finish the same task.

When to start over#

Create a new workspace when the goal changes. Continuing a session for unrelated work makes the history harder to audit and the diff harder to review.
