Conversation modes

Takopi can handle follow-up messages in two ways: chat mode (auto-resume) or stateless (reply-to-continue). Pick the one that matches how you want Telegram to feel.

Quick pick

Choose chat mode if you want a normal chat flow where new messages continue the same thread.
Choose stateless if you want every message to start clean unless you explicitly reply.

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

Where to set it

Onboarding will ask you, or you can set it in config:

[transports.telegram]
session_mode = "chat" # or "stateless"
show_resume_line = false # optional, see below

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.

Now that you know which mode you want, move on to your first run:
