Mention Files While Prompting From Your Phone
Type @ in the remote terminal to bring up a file typeahead and drop a precise project-file reference into your agent prompt — or open the full file picker sheet to browse and search the whole project. Prompting an agent from your phone gets as exact as it is at your desk.
Why You Need This
How this feature boosts your daily productivity
Prompting an agent from your phone used to mean typing full paths by hand or settling for a vague instruction the agent has to guess at. Now an @ in the remote terminal pops up a file typeahead that filters your project as you type, so a couple of keystrokes narrow to the file you mean. Prefer to look around first? The full file picker sheet lets you browse or search the whole project and insert a mention from there. Either way the agent receives a precise @path/to/file reference instead of a hand-typed guess — fewer wrong turns, tighter prompts, from the couch.
