Command Palette

The command palette is the keyboard-first way to move around and operate the desktop app. Press Cmd+K from anywhere to open it, type to filter, and press Enter to run the highlighted command.

Commands

The palette groups commands into:

  • Navigate — jump to any section or sub-page (Configure, Harness Parity, Observatory, Board, and so on). This replaces hunting through the sidebar.
  • Actions — operate the app, including Toggle light / dark theme and Ask AI.

Ask AI

Ask AI opens a local chat powered by Ollama. All conversations stay on your machine — no API keys, no cloud routing. Ollama must be running; if it is not detected, the chat shows an install link and the input is disabled. Models available on your machine appear in the model selector, and the last-used model is restored automatically.

Responses stream token-by-token, with a Cancel button to stop a stream immediately. The transcript renders assistant responses as markdown with highlighted code blocks.
