Terminal chat - RapidReview

nisa

Signs you in on first run (browser, or paste a key), then opens the chat in the folder you launched from. Sessions are the web app’s sessions: start in one, continue in the other. nisa tui --session-id <id> opens one directly.

Everyday commands

Everything else

Command	Does
`/sandbox [status\|kill]`	Status of the session’s sandbox, or terminate it
`/delete [confirm]`	Delete the current session (confirm within 10 s)

Esc goes back. Ctrl-C once interrupts a running turn (on an idle session it only arms the quit window).

Local access

Defaults: the agent can read the launch folder; it can’t write or run commands. Your own !cmd shell commands are on.

Goal	Command
Show current settings	`/permissions` (alias `/approvals`) · `/status`
Turn local access off / on	`/permissions off` · `/permissions on`
Read files only (default)	`/permissions read-only`
Let the agent create or edit files	`/permissions workspace-write` (or `allow-writes`; revoke with `deny-writes`)
Let the agent run commands	`/permissions shell-exec` (or `allow-exec`; revoke with `deny-exec`)
Your own `!cmd` on (default) / off	`/permissions terminal on` · `/permissions terminal off`
Change the folder	`/permissions workspace <dir>`

!ls runs locally and puts the output in the chat as context. !! sends a literal !. Bridging a web chat to this folder: Connect a folder. Headless session control: CLI reference → Sessions.
