session

Session management commands for listing, inspecting, naming, tagging, routing, pausing, ending, and resuming work sessions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them to catalog sessions, restore transcripts, create descriptive names, manage tags, and hand work over safely.
Why use it?
They help you find and continue earlier work without losing track of its saved transcript or checkpoint.

Token cost

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

session 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 2d 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.

pai session tag <project-slug> <number> [tags...] Set or show tags on a session. Tags can be space-separated or comma-separated.
pai session route <project-slug> <number> <target-project> Create a cross-reference link from a session to a target project
pai session handover [project-slug] [number-or-latest] Write a ## Continue section to the project's TODO.md.
pai session checkpoint <message> Append a timestamped checkpoint to the active session note.
pai session autosave Refresh the ## Continue checkpoint from the transcript and working tree.

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.

session is a command published in the GitHub repository mnott/PAI (45 stars, last pushed 8d ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 2,864 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
