32+## The Sessions page
33+
34+**Sessions** is in the left rail, directly after **Work**, at
35+`g1t.sh/<workspace>/-/sessions`. It shows what is cooking across the
36+workspace: the sessions in every one of its repositories you can read,
37+as they happen, without reloading.
38+
39+- **Live now**: the active and idle sessions, the most recently heard
40+ from first. Each card shows the session's title, who it acts for, its
41+ harness, its repository and branch, the work item and pull request it
42+ is on, when it was last heard from, how many subagents it has, and
43+ whether it is live or idle. A session with no title is named by what
44+ its first prompt was for, else **Session on** its branch, else
45+ **Untitled session**. A title that is only a tag, such as
46+ `<pasted_content id="5c50">`, counts as no title.
47+- **Merge queue**: each repository's merge queue that has something
48+ waiting, as on its [Merge queue](/guides/merge-queue/#the-merge-queue-page)
49+ page.
50+- **Just landed**: the pull requests merged lately, across the
51+ repositories, each with a link to the session behind it.
52+- **What happened**: the latest coordination events across the
53+ repositories: claims, sessions starting and ending, overlaps, and what
54+ the merge queue found when it combined changes.
55+- **Recent**: the sessions that ended lately.
56+
57+With nothing going on, choose your client in the
58+[connection instructions](/guides/bring-your-own-agent/), or run
59+`g1t work claim <number>` from any harness.
60+
61+Narrow it by repository (`?repo=web`), person (`?person=<username>`),
62+harness (`?harness=codex`), kind (`?kind=hosted`) and state. The address
63+keeps the filters, so a filtered view can be shared. A repository's
64+sessions are Sessions filtered to it,
65+`g1t.sh/<workspace>/-/sessions?repo=<name>`: a repository has no
66+Sessions page of its own.
67+
68+Every kind of session is listed in this one place:
69+
70+| Kind | Is |
71+| --- | --- |
72+| `harness` | A run of someone's own harness (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Copilot or another), with its [subagents](#subagents) under it. |
73+| `hosted` | A session started on g1t, from a work item or the web, on the workspace's Anthropic provider: harness `claude_managed_agents`. See [Start a session on your Anthropic account](#start-a-session-on-your-anthropic-account). |
74+| `agent` | g1t's own agent at work on a pull request. Only the workspace's members see these. |
75+| `recorded` | A session recorded on a pull request with no session of its own. It opens on the pull request's **Session** tab, `g1t.sh/<owner>/<repo>/pull/<number>/session`. |
76+
77+**A session's page** is `g1t.sh/<workspace>/-/sessions/<id>` (the
78+`ses_…` id), opened from Sessions or from anywhere the session is listed:
79+who ran it, in which harness and on which model, how long it has run, its
80+repository, the work items and pull requests it and its subagents worked
81+on (each says how it was tied), its subagents as a tree you open one at a
82+time (each with its kind, the task it was given, what it touched and what
83+it reported), the skills used, what was touched (files, commits, branches,
84+pull requests), and everything it recorded, as it records it: its prompt
85+folded, its messages formatted as they were written, and the tool calls
86+between them a line each (a command as code, a file by its path, a g1t
87+tool by what it did, such as *work item · claim*), more than three in a
88+row folded into one line that opens to them; a long command and what a
89+tool gave back open under its line. A subagent's own page links back to
90+the session that started it.
91+
92+The same list is in the API, MCP and the CLI:
93+[`GET /workspaces/{workspace}/sessions`](/reference/api/sessions/list-workspace-sessions/)
94+by `state` (`live`, `recent` or `ended`), `kind` (`harness`, `hosted`,
95+`agent` or `recorded`), `harness`, `person`, `repo`, `item`, `subagents`
96+and `limit`, which returns the `sessions`, each repository's `queue`, what
97+`landed` and the `repos` it covers;
98+[`GET /workspaces/{workspace}/sessions/{id}`](/reference/api/sessions/get-workspace-session/)
99+for one session, with its `repo`. Over MCP, the `session` tool's `list`
100+takes `workspace` instead of `repo`, and `get` takes `workspace` and `id`.
101+From the CLI:
102+
103+```sh
104+g1t session list --workspace # this repository's workspace
105+g1t session list --workspace acme --in web # one repository of it
106+g1t session list --workspace --harness codex --state active
107+```
108+
109+`--workspace` takes a slug, or none for the current repository's
110+workspace; `--harness`, `--person`, `--in NAME` (a repository of it),
111+`--state` (active or idle: what is going now; ended), `--item` and `--subagents` narrow it.
