Composer conventions

The composer placeholder reads: Ask anything. Use / for skills, @ for files.
  • Typing / opens the slash-command palette. For Claude sessions, this walks ~/.claude/skills/ and <repo>/.claude/skills/ for installed skill definitions. For Codex sessions, it shows built-in commands (/clear, /compact, /model, /help, /quit).
  • Typing @ opens the mention picker. This lists open sessions, agent-cited files in the current session, and recent JSONLs. A full repo-file walker is deferred to a future release.

Narrow-window note

When the window is narrower than approximately 1100 points, the review pane is hidden and Cmd+W is disabled (the toolbar button shows a “widen the window” tooltip). All three panes — sidebar, chat, and review — are visible at full width.

Detached windows

Cmd+Opt+N opens the current session in a separate session-detail window scene. Within a detached window, the pin button toggles NSWindow.level = .floating so the window stays on top of other applications.
