Chat Context

Chat context is the set of items that the Build Agent uses for the current task. The items display in the Context list above the prompt field on the Active Task tab. Creators add items, review them, and remove them. Chat context resets when a new task begins. For a comparison with Context Documents, see Build Agent Context.

Reading Chat Context

The Context list displays only when it holds at least one item. It begins collapsed and displays a Context header with the number of items. Select the header to expand the list.

Hover over an item to display its buttons. Select (Open in tab) to open the item. Select (Remove) to take the item out of chat context. Application items have no open button.

The list can hold the following items.

Item	Description
Open tab	A badge for the tab that is open, such as the current module, plan, or Smart Component.
Module	A module that the open tab or a Creator added.
Application	An application that a Creator added.
Smart Component	A Smart Component that a Creator added. A private Smart Component displays its name followed by the module that owns it.
Selected Components	The components selected on the canvas. The item displays the number of components. Removing the item clears the selection.
Selected Cards or Elements	The cards selected in the Logic View, or the elements selected in the preview, of a Smart Component.
Plan Comment	One item for each inline comment on a plan step. Select the item to go to the comment. Removing the item deletes the comment.

The open module joins chat context automatically. Remove it when the Build Agent must build something new instead of working on the module on screen. The item stays removed until a different module is opened and the original module is reopened.

Adding Items

Creators can add a module, application, or Smart Component in the following ways.

To add the open module:

In the Module Builder toolbar, select (ellipsis).
Select Add to Agent Context.

To remove the module, open the same menu and select Remove from Agent Context.

Smart Components Hub

To add a Smart Component:

In the Smart Components Hub, open the Smart Component.
Select (ellipsis).
Select Add to Agent Context.

Explorer

To add a module or application that is not open, hover over it in the Explorer. Select (ellipsis), then select Add to Agent Context.

@-Mention

To add a module or application from the chat:

In the prompt field, type @.
Type part of the name to filter the list.
Select the item.

The item displays in the Context list and joins chat context for the next message.

Removing Items

Select (Remove) on any item to take it out of chat context. For a module or Smart Component, Creators can also open the menu used to add it and select Remove from Agent Context.

New Tasks

Chat context belongs to one task. When a Creator begins a new task, chat context resets. Context Documents stay available in every task. For details, see Context Documents.
