# Terminals

> Use Terminals for plain shell sessions.

The **Terminals** panel is for plain terminal sessions. These are shells you run yourself, not coding agents.

Terminal Agents do not live here. They live in [Chats](/panels/chats). For the full distinction, see [Terminal Agents VS Terminals](/concepts/terminal-agents-vs-terminals).

## Controls

Use the panel to:

* create a terminal in a selected workspace folder
* find an existing terminal session
* rename a terminal
* stop or delete a terminal session after it exits

Traycer derives a terminal name from its custom title, current folder, shell command, or terminal id.

Use terminal sessions for package scripts, tests, logs, local debugging, and one-off commands.

Plain terminals do not receive Traycer's agent prompt, skills, artifact instructions, or agent-to-agent communication tools.

Cross-host terminal behavior is covered in [Hosts](/concepts/hosts).
