dotPilot: Agent for Claude Code

.codex/skills/dotnet-microsoft-agent-framework/references/official-docs/tutorials/agents/multi-turn-conversation.md

multi-turn-conversation is an agent for Claude Code, Codex from managedcode/dotPilot. It costs 11 tokens per session (1,318 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of multi-turn-conversation, MIT.

A tutorial for keeping context across several messages with an AI agent. Because agents do not remember earlier calls by themselves, the application stores the conversation state and sends it back each time.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when building chat features, follow-up workflows, or applications that need an agent to remember a conversation across multiple calls.
Why use it?
It shows how to prevent an agent from treating every request as a new conversation. This lets users ask follow-up questions without repeating the earlier context.

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

multi-turn-conversation scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Multi-turn conversations with an agent

This tutorial step shows you how to have a multi-turn conversation with an agent, where the agent is built on the Azure OpenAI Chat Completion service.

[!IMPORTANT] Agent Framework supports many different types of agents. This tutorial uses an agent based on a Chat Completion service, but all other agent types are run in the same way. For more information on other agent types and how to construct them, see the Agent Framework user guide.

Prerequisites

For prerequisites and creating the agent, see the Create and run a simple agent step in this tutorial.

Running the agent with a multi-turn conversation

Agents are stateless and do not maintain any state internally between calls. To have a multi-turn conversation with an agent, you need to create an object to hold the conversation state and pass this object to the agent when running it.

To create the conversation state object, call the GetNewThreadAsync method on the agent instance.

AgentThread thread = await agent.GetNewThreadAsync();

You can then pass this thread object to the RunAsync and RunStreamingAsync methods on the agent instance, along with the user input.

Console.WriteLine(await agent.RunAsync("Tell me a joke about a pirate.", thread));
Console.WriteLine(await agent.RunAsync("Now add some emojis to the joke and tell it in the voice of a pirate's parrot.", thread));

This will maintain the conversation state between the calls, and the agent will be able to refer to previous input and response messages in the conversation when responding to new input.

[!IMPORTANT] The type of service that is used by the AIAgent will determine how conversation history is stored. For example, when using a ChatCompletion service, like in this example, the conversation history is stored in the AgentThread object and sent to the service on each call. When using the Azure AI Agent service on the other hand, the conversation history is stored in the Azure AI Agent service and only a reference to the conversation is sent to the service on each call.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
