Workspaces are isolated virtual machines with your repository cloned and a coding agent ready to work. Each workspace runs the Replicas Engine, which manages agent sessions, message queues, and git operations.

Lifecycle

Workspaces move through three states:
StateDescription
BootingVM starting, cloning repo, installing dependencies
ActiveReady for messages, agent working
SleepingPaused, no credits consumed

What Runs Inside

Each workspace runs the Replicas Engine on port 3737, which:
  • Manages Claude Code and Codex agent sessions
  • Queues messages when agents are busy
  • Handles git operations (branch creation, commits)
  • Refreshes authentication tokens automatically
Messages sent while an agent is processing are queued and executed in order.

Sleep and Wake

Auto-sleep: Workspaces sleep after 1 hour of inactivity. Auto-delete: Sleeping workspaces are permanently deleted after:
  • 24 hours (Hobby plan)
  • 72 hours (Developer plan)
Wake behavior: When a workspace wakes, it resumes the previous agent session and git branch. You can send messages to sleeping workspaces and they’ll wake automatically to process your message.

Billing

Credits are consumed only while workspaces are active. See Credits for rates.
