What it is for

Purpose-built for this way of working.

01

Editor-aware chat

Attach up to eight workspace files through the composer and preserve useful conversation history in workspace state.

02

Agent modes and approvals

Switch between Chat, Plan, and Edit while keeping tool permissions explicit and appropriate to the workspace.

03

Useful editor actions

Accept local-model inline completions and generate a conventional commit message from Git changes without creating the commit for you.
