EditVolt Chat

Open the chat panel from the activity bar. Every conversation runs in one of five modes — pick how much autonomy you want:

Mode	What it does	Touches your files?
Ask	Questions and explanations	Never
Plan	Designs an approach step by step	Only after you approve
Debug	Gathers evidence (logs, state, tests) before proposing a fix	With approval
Agent	Executes tasks end to end with tools	Staged diffs you approve
Multitask	Runs several agent workers in parallel	Staged diffs you approve

Ask and Plan are read-only by design — nothing changes until you explicitly approve.

@-mention context

Type @ to attach exactly the context you want:

• @Workspace — semantic search over your whole repo
• @Folder / a specific file — scope to part of the project
• @Changes — your current git diff
• @Problems — current errors and warnings
• @Terminals — recent terminal output
• @Docs — documentation sources
• A URL — fetches the page and cites it as a source

You can also paste or attach images — vision is supported across all connected providers.

Reviewing what the AI did

Every agent edit is staged as a diff, never auto-applied. Use Review My Changes for a unified multi-file diff, and checkpoints to roll the workspace back to any earlier point in the conversation.

Slash commands

Built-in commands for common intents: /explain, /fix, /review, /test, /architect, /why, /scaffold. You can add your own — see Customization.
