The items display in the **Context** list above the [prompt field](/unqorkai/docs/build-agent-overview#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](/unqorkai/docs/build-agent-context). ![[docs-interactive-image:{"surface":"build-agent/chat-context-panel","anchors":{"Chat Context":"reading-chat-context","Open tab":"reading-chat-context","Module":"reading-chat-context","Application":"reading-chat-context","Smart Component":"reading-chat-context"}}] Build Agent panel on the Active Task tab with chat context expanded above the prompt field](https://cdn.us.document360.io/15548f06-2fba-434c-b0c1-5df88317dbd7/Images/Documentation/api_upload_20261113_170744_9854a16ec43d420395588b4e86f99d3e.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-14T00%3A06%3A41Z&se=2026-11-14T01%3A06%3A41Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=%2BU837hL6CUqOgXg1Plrho1ybhMqnBbX2JXCY%2B2V5Bls%3D) ## Reading Chat Context The **Context** list displays only when it holds at least one item.

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](/unqorkai/docs/module-builder-page) that the open tab or a Creator added. | | Application | An [application](/unqorkai/docs/application-page) that a Creator added. | | Smart Component | A [Smart Component](/unqorkai/docs/smart-components-overview) 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](/unqorkai/docs/smart-component-logic-view), or the elements selected in the preview, of a Smart Component. | | Plan Comment | One item for each inline comment on a [plan](/unqorkai/docs/tasks-and-plans) 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. ### Module Toolbar To add the open module: 1.
