Blocks as Context

Attach blocks from your terminal as context so Warp’s Agent can understand errors, outputs, or previous commands when responding to your queries.

Attaching blocks as context

Warp’s Agent can use blocks from your Agent conversations as context to better understand your queries and generate more relevant responses.

You can attach a block directly from the terminal blocklist by clicking the AI sparkles icon on it and selecting “Attach as context.”

From a block of output, attach the block and ask Agent Mode to remove all untracked files.

The most common use case is to ask the AI to fix an error. You can attach the error in a query to Agent Mode and type "fix it."

If you're already in Agent Mode, use the following ways to attach or clear context from your query:

macOS

Attach a previous block

• To attach blocks to a query, you can use CMD-UP to attach the previous block as context to the query. While holding CMD, you can then use your UP/DOWN keys to pick another block to attach.

  • You may also use your mouse to attach blocks in your session. Hold CMD as you click on other blocks to extend your block selection.

Clear a previous block

• To clear blocks from a query, you can use CMD-DOWN until the blocks are removed from context.

  • You may also use your mouse to clear blocks in your session. Hold CMD as you click on an attached block to clear it.

When using "Pin to the top" Input Position, the direction for attaching or detaching is reversed (i.e. CMD-DOWN attaches blocks to context, while CMD-UP clears blocks from context).

Windows

Attach a previous block

• To attach blocks to a query, you can use CTRL-UP to attach the previous block as context to the query. While holding CTRL, you can then use your UP/DOWN keys to pick another block to attach.

  • You may also use your mouse to select blocks in your session. Hold CTRL as you click on other blocks to extend your block selection.

Clear a previous block
