A private prompt and its response do not reach your harness provider. After submitting, the response is returned and displayed as a blocked turn.

​
Run It

​
What Just Happened

The plugin caught the command before your harness ran its own inference, sent the prompt on its own through Nito, and returned the response as a blocked result. The prompt and the response never entered your harness’s context, so they never went upstream with it. The result is labeled Session mode: Incognito and shows the model and privacy level that answered.
The private guarantee depends on your harness’s hooks being enabled and trusted. If hooks are off, the command cannot catch the turn. Do not submit private data with hooks off. On Codex this is the one-time /hooks trust step from install.

​
What Stays in the Path

private keeps your prompt and the response away from your harness provider. It does not remove everyone from the path: your local harness process, your operating system, the Nito gateway, and the model provider that answers are all still involved. That boundary is covered in full on Who Can See What.

​
Open a Full Incognito Session

Run private with no prompt to go further than a single turn:
Opens a fresh session that runs through Nito and keeps nothing: no prompt history, no transcript, no resume state. Your original session is untouched and receives only a launch result.
