RECORD — record session exchanges to a Fountain file
/record start [FILE] /record stop /record status
/record saves each user prompt and assistant reply to a plain-text Fountain .spmd file as the conversation progresses. Recording is on by default: Harvey starts recording automatically at startup and prints “Recording to …” in the startup banner.
Recorded files can be loaded later with /session continue (to resume) or /session replay (to re-run against a different model).
Harvey records automatically unless auto-record is disabled. The
session file is created in
harvey-session-YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS.spmd
The path is shown in the startup banner. When you exit Harvey the banner confirms the file was saved:
Session saved to agents/sessions/harvey-session-20260501-143200.spmd
/record start [FILE] Begin recording to FILE. If FILE is omitted, Harvey generates a timestamped name in the sessions directory. Returns an error if a recording is already active — use /record stop first.
/record stop Close the current recording file. The path is printed on exit. Harvey continues running; only the recording ends.
/record status Show the path of the active recording, or report that no recording is in progress.
