Terminal
Drop into a real terminal to resume any chat's underlying CLI session.
Quack drives Claude Code or Codex behind the scenes — you don't normally need a terminal at all. When you do, every chat can hand off to one.
Resume in terminal
Click the terminal icon on a chat's session chip and Quack opens a new
terminal tab running the exact same CLI session — claude --resume <id>,
for example — so you can keep going interactively with the
raw CLI instead of the chat UI. Useful for anything the chat interface
doesn't expose yet, or when you just want to see the unfiltered output.
Process cleanup
Each terminal tab is its own process group. Closing a terminal tab kills
only that terminal; closing or archiving a chat kills only that chat's
agent process. Closing a whole project kills everything under it. If
something ever looks stuck, open the Task Manager (Ctrl+Alt+U) — it shows
Quack's own process tree with CPU/RAM and lets you kill just the one that's
misbehaving.
