# Sessions

> Persist and resume Arka conversation sessions from the CLI.

Arka stores channel conversations locally so a follow-up can keep its context.
The default CLI session is `cli/default`; webhook and messaging integrations
use their channel and chat id as the session key.

```bash theme={null}
arka session status
arka session list
arka session resume cli default
arka session context cli default
arka session reset cli default
```

The same actions accept natural language:

```bash theme={null}
arka "list my sessions"
arka "resume my session"
```

Session files live under `~/.config/arka/message-sessions/` (or the directory
selected by `ARKA_CONFIG_DIR`). Use `MESSAGE_SESSIONS=0` to disable persistence.
