Getting started

Chat and Code

Two sides, each with its own history, model and settings.

The switch at the top of the sidebar moves between them. The speech bubble is Chat; the angle brackets are Code.

Nothing set on one side reaches the other. Chat cannot touch a file of yours beyond the ones you attach. Code works inside one folder and shows every change as a diff.

Theme, language, installed models, extensions, skills, statistics and updates are shared, because they are about the app rather than the work.

The composer

ControlDoes
Fast / Balanced / DeepHow hard the model thinks. Fast turns reasoning off rather than asking for less.
Auto / On / OffWhether it may search the web.
Model nameThe model answering. Ctrl+K changes it.
Context wheelHow full the window is. Click for the breakdown.

Type / for slash commands: /new, /model, /compact, /settings, and every skill switched on for this side.

When a conversation gets long

At 60% of what the model can hold, the earlier part is folded into notes and the conversation carries on. Nothing is deleted: every message stays on screen and stays searchable.

/compact does it now. /compact-limit 20k moves the point, and auto puts it back.
