Work is where active sessions live. A session can be a chat, an interactive terminal, an agent terminal, or a managed process opened from Run.

Session types

TypeUse it for
ChatAsk an agent to inspect, edit, test, or explain.
Interactive terminalRun commands manually in a lane.
Agent terminalWatch commands an agent runs during a chat or worker task.
Managed processFollow logs from commands started in Run.

Lane scope

Each Work session belongs to a lane. Commands run in that lane’s worktree, with that lane’s environment. Check the lane label before typing or prompting.

What ADE records

ADE keeps transcripts and metadata for sessions so you can revisit them later:
  • Start and end time.
  • Lane and working directory.
  • Command output.
  • Agent attribution.
  • Related file changes.
  • Links to commits, PRs, proof, or Linear issues when available.

Recovery

If ADE restarts, it restores the visible session record and attempts to reconnect to live processes where possible. If a process is gone, the transcript still remains in History.

Agent chat

Use chat for agent-driven edits.
