IDE v3 — project work in main chat

When the Software development pack is on, switch to IDE layout for files, editor, and main chat in one surface. IDE v3 routes coding work through the channel you already use — with Ask/Agent modes, semantic @codebase search, and bounded implementation sessions. IDE v4 adds full LSP and remote SSH on top — see IDE v4 guide.

Layout presets

PresetBest for
TeamChat-first — collaboration, Slack, custom experts, general work
IDEProject-first — open files, editor focus, coding specialists in main chat

Toggle in Settings → Layout or the toolbar IDE button. First enabled domain pack influences default layout when multiple packs are on.

Main chat in IDE mode

Implementation sessions

In Agent mode, scoped multi-step coding runs as bounded implementation sessions: read → edit → verify → optional repair — without an unbounded agent loop. See IMPLEMENTATION_SESSION.md.

Keyboard shortcuts

Editor trust

Settings → Layout → Editor trust: interactive (approve in Pending changes), auto_apply_edits, or yolo (auto-approve file changes).

Built on IDE v2

Git stage/unstage, diff viewer, Problems panel, inline hunks, Rust/Python diagnostics, and CSV table view in the editor. See IDE_V2.md.
