# Syncing and freshness

> What gets captured, how often, and what lags.

## What is captured

Sessions from the coding agents you have enabled (see
[`resumecontext agents`](/docs/cli/agents)) for the directory that has been `init`ed.
Turns are captured whole: full tool-call arguments and full output, not
truncated snippets.

## How often

A background daemon syncs roughly **every 20 seconds** while it is running.
[`resumecontext init`](/docs/cli/init) starts it, and every project command except
[`agents`](/docs/cli/agents) restarts it if it has stopped, so in normal use there is
nothing to run and nothing to remember.

To push immediately rather than waiting for the next tick:

```bash theme={"theme":"nord"}
resumecontext sync
```

## What lags, and by how much

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Grep, read and queries: no lag">
    These work on the synced turns directly, so they see every turn the moment
    it arrives.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Search: by keyword at once, by meaning shortly after">
    Synced turns are indexed as they arrive, so search finds them by keyword
    straight away. Matching by meaning follows once they are embedded in the
    background, newest history first -- seconds normally, a few minutes after a
    very large first sync. Until then a search still answers and says how much
    is left, and your agent can use grep and read for the rest.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="The current conversation: not there at all">
    The session your agent is in right now has not been synced yet. It cannot
    answer "what did I just do" from the archive. That is the one thing the
    archive does not have.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="An offline machine: until it comes back">
    A machine that is off or has the daemon stopped syncs nothing until it runs
    again.
