Use: "seance",
GroupID: GroupDiag,
Short: "Talk to your predecessor sessions",
Long: `Seance lets you literally talk to predecessor sessions.
"Where did you put the stuff you left for me?" - The #1 handoff question.
Instead of parsing logs, seance spawns a Claude subprocess that resumes
a predecessor session with full context. You can ask questions directly:
- "Why did you make this decision?"
- "Where were you stuck?"
- "What did you try that didn't work?"
DISCOVERY:
gt seance # List recent sessions from events
gt seance --role crew # Filter by role type
gt seance --rig gastown # Filter by rig
gt seance --recent 10 # Last N sessions
THE SEANCE (talk to predecessor):
gt seance --talk <session-id> # Interactive conversation
gt seance --talk <id> -p "Where is X?" # One-shot question
The --talk flag spawns: claude --fork-session --resume <id>
This loads the predecessor's full context without modifying their session.
Sessions are discovered from:
1. Events emitted by SessionStart hooks (~/gt/.events.jsonl)
2. The [GAS TOWN] beacon makes sessions searchable in /resume`,
