Sessions

Context and handoffs

Keep session-specific context visible and move instructions between agents without manually reconstructing the state every time.

What context means in Nora

Each agent session keeps its own working context so ongoing instructions do not disappear as soon as the screen changes. Nora lets you inspect that context, refresh it as a session progresses, and clear it when you want a cleaner restart.

How handoffs work

A handoff moves instructions from one session to another without making you reassemble the whole brief manually. Use it when one agent has finished a step and another session should continue from there, such as moving from planning to implementation or from implementation to review.

How to use handoffs well

Before handing work off, confirm the destination session is the one you want and that it is attached to the right branch or worktree. Then send the next instruction and review the session context afterward so you can verify the receiving agent is now working from the right brief.
