Inbox¶
When an agent needs a decision, an answer or a review, it waits in the Inbox.
One card at a time¶
The Inbox shows one card at a time, most urgent first: questions whose agent will stop waiting soonest, then agents blocked on you, then everything else. If an agent said how long it will wait, the card shows the time left and what the agent will do without you.
Answer¶
A card offers the answers the agent expects as buttons. Pick one, or type your own reply and press Send. The agent gets it at once and carries on. Questions survive restarts, so an answer you give tomorrow still arrives.
Optional questions have Skip. Answer in chat opens the agent's conversation instead.
Clear or set aside¶

← → |
Previous or next card |
On a trackpad, swipe a card left for Later and right for Done. Each of these can be undone for a few seconds from the line at the foot of the window.
The open icon in a card's header opens the task, page or pull request it is about.
Where it shows¶
The Inbox page (g5) lists what is waiting, grouped by workspace, with past
items after them. When an agent needs you, its card also floats over the page
you are on, so you can answer without leaving your work. Keep beside the
page docks it as a pane.
For a system notification as well, turn on Settings › General › Notify me when an agent needs me.
From a terminal¶
Agents publish questions with sbt form. In the terminal app, u opens the
Inbox from any page.
