Docs/Projects & Sessions

Projects & Sessions

Projects hold the workspace context. Sessions keep a task conversation and its artifacts connected to that context.

Projects

A project maps to a software project directory and gives CODVIAN a stable place to find files, instructions, tools, and recent work.

  • Keep project instructions near the repository root
  • Use one project per codebase or clearly separated workspace
  • Review which folders are in scope before granting access

Sessions

A session is an interaction within a project. Start a new session for a distinct goal, and continue an existing session when the next instruction builds on the same context.

A practical rule

Use one session for a feature, bug fix, migration, or investigation. Start a new session when the goal, branch, or review context changes.

Artifacts and recents

Files created or edited during a session can be reviewed from the workspace. Use artifacts to understand what changed without reconstructing the conversation from memory.
