Clones and wake

The Aegis CLI is organized around a simple idea: keep continuity attached to a named clone, then re-enter that clone through wake.

Enter wake​

aegis wake

If only one clone exists, wake opens it directly. When more than one exists, Aegis prompts you to choose before entering the active continuity line.

Create another clone​

aegis clone demo

Use this only when you want a second named Aegis individual, not for the normal first-run path.

List or retire clones​

aegis clones
aegis clones bye demo

Use aegis clones to inspect what exists. Use bye when a clone should no longer remain active.

Resume the same clone​

aegis wake --clone-id demo

If you have more than one clone, pass the clone id explicitly so you resume the right continuity surface.

Run a single turn from the CLI​

aegis wake --clone-id demo --message "Who are you?"

This is useful for quick checks or scripts when you do not want to stay in the interactive TUI.

What stays inside wake​

Inside the conversation surface, slash commands such as /status, /memory, /audit, /profile, /activity, /procedure, and /help let you inspect continuity without switching to a second application.
