Conversation modes
Takopi can handle follow-up messages in two ways: chat mode (auto-resume) or stateless (reply-to-continue).
During onboarding, you chose a workflow (assistant, workspace, or handoff) that automatically configured this for you:
| Workflow | Session mode | Topics | Resume lines |
|---|---|---|---|
| assistant | chat | off | hidden |
| workspace | chat | on | hidden |
| handoff | stateless | off | shown |
This page explains what those settings mean and how to change them.
Chat mode (auto-resume)
What it feels like: a normal chat assistant.
!!! user "You" explain what this repo does
!!! takopi "Takopi" done · codex · 8s ...
!!! user "You" now add tests
Takopi treats the second message as a continuation. If you want a clean slate, use:
!!! user "You" /new
Tip: set a default agent for this chat with /agent set claude.
Stateless (reply-to-continue)
What it feels like: every message is independent until you reply.
!!! user "You" explain what this repo does
!!! takopi "Takopi" done · codex · 8s ... codex resume abc123
To continue the same session, reply to a message with a resume line:
!!! takopi "Takopi" done · codex · 8s
!!! user "You"
now add tests
Changing your settings
You can manually change these settings in your config file:
[transports.telegram]
session_mode = "chat" # "chat" or "stateless"
show_resume_line = false # true or false
Or re-run onboarding to pick a different workflow:
takopi --onboard
Resume lines in chat mode
If you enable chat mode (or topics), Takopi can auto-resume, so you can hide resume lines for a cleaner chat. Resume lines are still shown when no project context is set, so replies can branch there.
If you prefer always-visible resume lines, set:
[transports.telegram]
show_resume_line = true
Reply-to-continue still works
Even in chat mode, replying to a message with a resume line takes precedence and branches from that point.
