In a conversation

These pages cover what happens inside one conversation: what you see while an agent works, how you steer it, how it asks you things, and the tools around the transcript.

• While a turn runsWatch the agent work, send a message into the running turn with Steer or behind it with Queue, stop the turn, and what you can do when it has ended.
• Question cardsHow to answer an agent that asks you something — choices, several answers, free text, forms and approval cards, and what happens while a card is open.
• The plan boardThe Plan ready for review board that appears when an agent finishes a plan, what its three buttons do, and how each provider produces it.
• Background tasksWork an agent keeps running after it has answered — the task panel, a command's console, quiet tasks and test counts, Stop, the continuation reply, the timeout.
• Sub-agentsHelpers an agent starts inside its own turn — how they show in the transcript, the sub-agent viewer with a sub-agent's whole record, how long it is kept, and stopping one.
• The composerThe message box of a conversation — its controls, sending, slash commands, @ mentions, file references, attachments and drafts that follow you across devices.
• Media and formulasWhat a conversation shows besides plain text — images, video and audio from agents, marking up screenshots, formulas, code blocks, links and tables.
• TranscriptFind your way in a long conversation in OAR - the layout of the transcript, when it scrolls and the jump button, search, pinned messages, per-message buttons and links.
• SharingPublish a read-only link to a conversation, manage your links in Settings › Sharing with their access log, keep paths and single messages out of the shared view, and know what a viewer sees.
• The ⋯ menuThe header of a conversation and its ⋯ menu, entry by entry — what each one is called, when it shows, what it does, and the About, tmux console, restart, suspend and kill entries.
