Sessions
A session is one coding agent working in one folder on one of your computers. You start it, talk to it and steer it from CommandChain in your browser, on a laptop or a phone. The agent itself runs on your computer, with its own sign-in, tools and settings.
Before you can start a session, the CommandChain app must be installed and connected on at least one computer, with a coding agent signed in there. Until then the Computer field on the New session form has nothing to choose. See Install the CommandChain app.
