pw agents

pw agents

Browse, attach to, and manage pw code agent sessions on this machine

Synopsis

Browse pw code agent sessions and their live status: running, awaiting approval, idle, or live on another host sharing this session store.

The default interactive mode opens the agent command center: sessions grouped by project and filtered by status (needs you, working, ready, inactive), with a details pane showing each one's last message. From it you can open, start, fork, rename, pin, stop, archive, hide, or delete sessions, or start one in a new git worktree; press ? for the keys. Inside pw code, press ← at an empty prompt or run /agents to open it. It downgrades to the text listing when stdout is not a terminal.

The text view shows every live session plus the most recent idle ones, leaving out archived sessions; --all lists the whole session store. Listing never starts a daemon; attaching does.
