Use structured status for routine supervision and open the transcript only when you need exact conversation context. This keeps attention on decisions instead of terminal noise.

​
Check session state

Look up the session ID on its issue, then inspect it:
Status reports the runtime, context use, phase, issue state, commits, changed files, subagents, and unacknowledged messages. It does not include raw transcript text.

​
Read recent transcript context

Read a bounded window when structured status does not explain the state:
Use podium session recap your_session_id for a server-side summary since your last watermark.

​
Send input

Send a normal turn to an active session:
Add --wake when the session is parked. Use podium session continue only for a session in an errored phase.

​
Stop a session

Preserve its work before stopping the session:
For an issue-backed session, Podium refuses a normal stop when its managed worktree has unsaved changes. --force can free that dirty worktree and discard the changes, so inspect and preserve them first. A successful stop puts a resumable session into the hibernated state and keeps its record and transcript. An issue-backed session also keeps its branch so Podium can recreate the worktree.

​
Distinguish common attention states

Choose the next action from the session’s current state: See troubleshooting when the process or machine state is unclear.
