Running zerocode

Local setup

On the same machine as the daemon, no extra configuration is needed:

sh

zerocode

</div>

zerocode finds the daemon's local endpoint automatically: <data_dir>/data/daemon.sock on Unix, \\.\pipe\zeroclaw-<hash> on Windows. If the daemon isn't running, zerocode spawns an ephemeral one.

Switching sessions

In the Chat and Code panes you can load or switch existing sessions without restarting zerocode:

Switch session opens the session list (default chord: Ctrl+S; rebindable in the keymap).
Use the list-navigation keys to move the selection (defaults: Up/Down).
Enter switches to the highlighted session.
New session starts fresh (default chord: Ctrl+N; rebindable).

The in-app help overlay shows your live key bindings for these actions.

Chat/Code sessions and ACP-backed sessions use different stores. If you use the ACP protocol directly, use session/load when you need transcript replay and session/resume when you only need the server-side session state restored. See the ACP documentation for protocol-level details.
