Agent Context

How to attach various forms of multi-modal context directly to Warp's Agent within a prompt.

In Warp, you can pass different types of input directly to the Agent to guide its behavior and improve response quality. These inputs are known as Agent Context: ad-hoc pieces of information you manually supply during a session.

You can attach context in several ways:

  • Blocks as Context - share output from your terminal to help the Agent understand errors, logs, or previous commands.

  • Images as Context - include screenshots, diagrams, or other visuals to provide additional clarity.

  • URLs as Context - attach public webpages so the Agent can extract and reference their content.

  • Selection as Context - attach code snippets from the editor or review panel to enrich your prompts with precise context.

  • Using @ to Add Context - reference files, folders, code symbols, or Warp Drive objects directly in your prompts.


This is distinct from other persistent or automatic sources of context, such as Rulesarrow-up-right, Warp Drive as Agent Mode Contextarrow-up-right, and Model Context Protocol (MCP)arrow-up-right, which the Agent also uses when available.
