Tips

Warp Agent is agent-first: Enter sends input to the agent by default; press `!` to enter shell mode and run commands directly, switching back and forth.
`/orchestrate` splits a big task into subtasks run by parallel agents — good for several independent jobs at once.
For long tasks or CI, `oz agent run-cloud` dispatches a headless run to Warp cloud so your local terminal need not stay attached.

FAQ

Is the Warp Agent CLI a standalone program or part of the terminal?

Agent capabilities are built into the Warp terminal (Rust). Launch `warp`, then use Agent Mode (Ctrl+I) or slash commands like `/agent`. There is also a standalone `oz` CLI to dispatch tasks to Warp cloud.

How is Warp Agent Mode different from a normal chatbot?

It works through the CLI abstraction: it reads/writes files, runs shell commands, and calls any CLI/API with --help, asking your approval at each step and self-correcting — not just codegen or chat.
