ask-qoderDelegate a task to qodercli (Qoder CLI), a local agentic coding assistant.

Returns structured output including session_id; pass it back as resume_session_id to continue the conversation.list-sessionsList local qodercli sessions (index + id + summary) so you can pick a resume_session_id for ask-qoder.list-modelsList models currently supported by qodercli. Use this before picking a model name for ask-qoder.
