How to continue a Web task from the terminal with Agnes Harness

Resume a session started in the browser and keep working in the CLI with the same history.

Who it is forAn analyst who starts a task in the browser and an engineer who needs to pick it up from a terminal.

The problemCopying context between tools loses history and decisions.

The outcomeThe terminal session shows the same history, tool records, and results as the Web thread, and new terminal messages appear in the Web thread.

What you need first

  • Node.js 24.10 or newer
  • pnpm 10.34.5
  • Native build tools for your platform
  • A cloned copy of the agnes-harness source repository
  • A configured AI model in the Web interface

Steps

  1. Run node packages/cli/dist/local/agnes.mjs serve and keep it running.
  2. In the browser, start a task and note its session.
  3. Open a second terminal in the same source directory and use the same AGH_HOME or AGNES_PROFILE values if you set them.
  4. Resume the Web session in the terminal with /resume.
  5. Run node packages/cli/dist/local/agnes.mjs -p "Briefly explain what this project does" and check that it appears in the Web thread.

Prompt for your agent

Using the agnes-harness repository at <repo path>, start the AGH server, create a task in the Web interface, then resume that session from the CLI with /resume. Expected output: the terminal shows the earlier history and the new message appears in the Web thread. Verify both views show the same session ID.

Caveat. The CLI must use the same backend and configuration as the running Web server, so mismatched AGH_HOME or AGNES_PROFILE values will show a different session.
