Capabilities overview

Agent capabilities are the core building blocks that define how Warp’s agents operate, including the context sources agents can access, the rules that guide their behavior, the tools they can use, and the models they run on. Configure these capabilities to match your workflows and preferences.

Capabilities in this section

• Slash Commands - Quick actions and saved prompts accessible by typing / in Agent Mode.
• Skills - Reusable, scoped instructions that teach agents how to perform specific tasks in your codebase.
• Planning - Turn agent requests into organized, editable plans that execute step-by-step with full visibility.
• Task Lists - Track complex workflows with automatic task lists that update progress in real time.
• Rules - Define global and project-level guidelines that shape agent behavior and responses.
• Full Terminal Use - Let the agent drive interactive terminal apps, seeing live output and running commands.
• Computer Use - Let agents interact with desktop environments by taking screenshots, clicking, typing, and controlling the GUI.
• MCP - Connect external data sources and tools to Warp’s agents via the Model Context Protocol.
• Codebase Context - Let agents understand your codebase through semantic indexing of your Git-tracked files.
• Agent Profiles & Permissions - Control what permissions and autonomy agents have to run commands and apply changes.
• Web Search - Allow agents to search the web for up-to-date information.
