Resume conversations

Overview​

Faheem Code CLI automatically saves your conversation history in ~/.faheem-code/conversations. You can resume any previous conversation to continue where you left off.

Listing previous conversations​

To see a list of your recent conversations, run:

faheemcode --resume

This displays up to 15 recent conversations with their IDs, timestamps, and a preview of the first user message:

Recent Conversations:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 1. abc123def456 (2h ago)
    Fix the login bug in auth.py

 2. xyz789ghi012 (yesterday)
    Add unit tests for the user service

 3. mno345pqr678 (3 days ago)
    Refactor the database connection module
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To resume a conversation, use: faheemcode --resume <conversation-id>

Resuming a specific conversation​

To resume a specific conversation, use the --resume flag with the conversation ID:

faheemcode --resume <conversation-id>

For example:

faheemcode --resume abc123def456

Resuming the latest conversation​

To quickly resume your most recent conversation without looking up the ID, use the --last flag:

faheemcode --resume --last

This automatically finds and resumes the most recent conversation.

How it works​

When you resume a conversation:

  1. Faheem Code loads the full conversation history from disk
  2. The agent has access to all previous context, including:
    • Your previous messages and requests
    • The agent's responses and actions
    • Any files that were created or modified
  3. You can continue the conversation as if you never left

Resuming in different modes​

Terminal mode​

faheemcode --resume abc123def456
faheemcode --resume --last

ACP mode (IDEs)​

faheemcode acp --resume abc123def456
faheemcode acp --resume --last

For IDE-specific configurations, see:

With confirmation modes​

Combine --resume with confirmation mode flags:

# Resume with LLM-based approval
faheemcode --resume abc123def456 --llm-approve

# Resume with auto-approve
faheemcode --resume --last --always-approve

Tips​

Storage location​

Conversations are stored in:

~/.faheem-code/conversations/
├── abc123def456/
│   └── conversation.json
├── xyz789ghi012/
│   └── conversation.json
└── ...
