Shannon uses workspaces to store scan state, logs, prompts, and deliverables. Workspaces allow interrupted or failed runs to resume without re-running completed agents.
- Every run creates a workspace.
- Auto-named workspaces use the target hostname and a session ID, such as
example-com_shannon-1771007534808. npxmode stores workspaces in~/.shannon/workspaces/.- Source-build mode stores workspaces in
./workspaces/. - Use
-w <name>to give a run a custom name. - To resume a run, pass the same workspace name with
-w. - Each agent's progress is checkpointed so resumed runs can skip completed work.
Note
The URL must match the original workspace URL when resuming. Shannon rejects mismatched URLs to prevent cross-target contamination.
Start with a named workspace:
npx @keygraph/shannon start -u https://example.com -r /path/to/repo -w my-auditResume the same workspace:
npx @keygraph/shannon start -u https://example.com -r /path/to/repo -w my-auditResume an auto-named workspace:
npx @keygraph/shannon start -u https://example.com -r /path/to/repo -w example-com_shannon-1771007534808List all workspaces:
npx @keygraph/shannon workspacesSource-build equivalents:
./shannon start -u https://example.com -r /path/to/repo -w my-audit
./shannon start -u https://example.com -r /path/to/repo -w example-com_shannon-1771007534808
