1
Install the CLI
2
Sign in from this machine
3
Create a project
init creates the
project and writes a marker file tying that directory to it, which is why
there is no way to create a project from the website.It also starts the background daemon. From this point the directory’s agent
sessions sync on their own, roughly every 20 seconds. There is no sync
command to remember.4
Connect your agent
Check it worked
Ask your agent something only the archive knows:Just installed, and the archive looks empty? The first sync runs within about
20 seconds of
init and uploads what your agents have already recorded in
that directory. resumecontext sync forces it immediately.Join an existing project
Use this flow when someone has invited you to their project and you have a local clone containing its.resumecontext.json marker.
1
Sign in
2
Accept the invite
3
Sync once from your local clone
4
Connect your agent in this clone
init in an invited clone. init creates a new project when no
marker is present. See Teams and access.
