View Files in Agent Mode

Interacting with Files in Agents Mode

View and edit files directly within your AI session without switching to Files mode.

How to use:

  • When a session, workstream, or worktree edits a file, it appears on the right panel

  • Open multiple files in tabs, resize or hide the files panel as needed.

  • Edit files directly while collaborating with your coding agent.

  • Right-click any file to open it in Files mode if you prefer the full editor experience

Benefits:

  • Stay focused in your AI workflow without context switching

  • Make quick edits alongside AI suggestions

  • Full editing capabilities without leaving Agent Mode

Collapsing Sections

Click any section header (Edited, Referenced, Read) to collapse or expand it. This helps focus on what matters when there are many files.

Tips

  • Long filenames are truncated. Hover to see the full relative path from your workspace.

  • Multiple edits to the same file are aggregated - you'll see the total lines added/removed across all changes.

  • Git status updates automatically when you switch back to Nimbalyst from another app.

  • Empty state: If no files have been touched yet, you'll see "No file interactions yet."
