Create the chat
- Use New Chat for the default workspace session.
- Use New Chat in Worktree when you want isolated work on a linked worktree.
Choose the provider
Before you send the first prompt, confirm the provider shown in the chat input toolbar.- Use an agent provider if you want the richer coding workflow.
- Use an LLM provider if you want a lighter chat flow or quick reasoning.
Good first prompts
Try one of these:Read the response
As the response comes in, you may see:- streamed text
- file references that open in Reader
- tool activity that appears in the chat or timeline
- usage and context information under the input
If something does not work
- If the provider is missing, go to Supported agents or Agent providers.
- If the response pauses on a decision, go to Approval prompts or Permission prompts.
