Workspaces and Resuming

Shannon Lite uses workspaces to store scan state, logs, prompts, and deliverables. Workspaces allow interrupted or failed runs to resume without re-running completed agents.

How Workspaces Work

  • Every run creates a workspace.
  • Auto-named workspaces use the target hostname and a session ID, such as example-com_shannon-1771007534808.
  • npx mode 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.
  • The final report is surfaced at the workspace root as Security-Assessment-Report.md. Run internals — deliverables, logs, prompts, and session state — live under a hidden .shannon/ directory.

Note

The URL must match the original workspace URL when resuming. Shannon Lite rejects mismatched URLs to prevent cross-target contamination.

Examples

Start with a named workspace:

npx @keygraph/shannon start -u https://example.com -r /path/to/repo -w my-audit

Resume the same workspace:

npx @keygraph/shannon start -u https://example.com -r /path/to/repo -w my-audit

Resume an auto-named workspace:

npx @keygraph/shannon start -u https://example.com -r /path/to/repo -w example-com_shannon-1771007534808

List all workspaces:

npx @keygraph/shannon workspaces

Source-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
./shannon workspaces
