Daily usage
Open Agentic Chat from the ribbon icon or the Agentic Chat: Open chat command.
Send prompts
Type a message and press Enter. Use Shift+Enter for a newline.
The active note is attached automatically unless it is ignored, is a root standing-instruction file (AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, or GEMINI.md), or you dismissed the chip for the current session. Standing-instruction files are implicit context whenever present. Add more context with:
@note@note#heading@note^block-id- the folder button in the composer
- drag and drop from the file explorer
- Obsidian context menus for notes, folders, or selected editor text
Watch tool calls
Tool calls render inline in the transcript. You can expand them to inspect arguments, results, and timing.
Mutating calls follow the approval policy. When a call is set to ask, the plugin shows the pending arguments and a line-level diff (red removed, green added) before anything changes.
Safe, YOLO, and plan modes
Safe follows your configured approval settings.
YOLO auto-approves most mutating tools until you switch back. Recursive folder deletes still ask, and a per-tool deny still wins.
/plan enters sticky read-only planning mode. It blocks mutations until you leave. To leave, click the Plan badge in chat or run /config to switch back to Safe or YOLO.
Run /compact [instructions] to summarize older turns on demand. The optional instructions are passed to the compaction request, so important details survive the summary.
Memory
Add long-term memories with /memory add [kind] [scope] <text>. Kinds are preference, fact, instruction, or summary. Scopes are global or vault.
Review stored memories with /memory review. Export them with /memory export. Clear everything with /memory clear --confirm.
The agent retrieves memories explicitly through the search_memory tool. The plugin never injects them automatically.
Semantic indexing
Run /semantic-index start to build a vector index over your current scope (vault, folder, tag, or the active note's folder). A full-vault build requires /semantic-index start vault --confirm-vault. Check status with /semantic-index status and estimate cost with /semantic-index estimate.
Cancel an in-progress build with /semantic-index cancel.
Todo tracking
Use /todo add <milestone> to add a milestone. Update status with /todo set <id> <pending|active|done|blocked>. Track tests with /todo test <id> <not-run|running|passed|failed|skipped>. Attach checkpoint commits with /todo commit <id> <commit>, notes with /todo note <id> <note>, and retitle the plan with /todo title <name>.
The plan tracker panel shows live progress.
Real-time controls
While the agent streams a response, you can:
/steer [text]steers the current turn mid-stream./follow-up [text]queues a follow-up message behind the active turn./redirect [text]stops the active turn and answers the new text instead.
Export conversations
Run /export to save the current conversation as a Markdown note in the vault.
Reasoning effort
Set your reasoning effort with /effort [level] (for example, /effort high). The choice persists across messages. Change it with /effort again or with the effort knob in the composer.
Undo and retry
Use /undo to revert the last vault mutation made by the agent.
Every assistant answer has copy and retry actions. Click a sent message to rewind to that prompt, edit it, and regenerate from that point.
