Docs · Quick prompt

Answer an agent without attaching.

space docks a prompt bar at the bottom of the sidebar. The target follows the cursor while the bar is open, and ↑↓ still navigate.

Animated demo: moving down the session list, opening the quick prompt bar with space, typing a follow-up and sending it into the selected agent's pane.

On a session, on a group

On a session row, enter sends the typed text straight into that session's pane, so the agent gets it as a user message without you attaching. The bar clears and stays open, ready for the next answer; settings can make it close instead.

On a group row, enter spawns a new agent in that group with the prompt embedded, using the group's default path. The spawn tool starts at the settings default and tab cycles it, with the footer showing the current pick. The agent starts on the prompt immediately.

Pasting an image

ctrl+v pastes an image from the system clipboard as an [Image #1] chip at the caret. The image is saved under agent-manager-pastes in your temp directory, and on send each chip is swapped back for its path, so the paths reach the agent in the order and the places you pasted them.

backspace next to a chip removes the whole chip, and an edit that swallows one releases its image. A clipboard holding text pastes as text. Pasted images older than seven days are cleared at startup and once a day while the manager runs, so an agent can still open one from an earlier session while temp stays tidy.

The bar's keys

A /slash command reaches the agent as a slash command; the self-naming directive follows as its own message rather than mangling it. The new-session form's optional prompt field launches an agent the same way, and tools whose CLI takes the prompt behind a flag declare it with prompt_flag.
