Warp lets you see, edit, and refine AI-generated code diffs directly within the app.
This makes debugging and bug-fix workflows fast, transparent, and interactive.
1. Starting an Agent Task
Section titled “1. Starting an Agent Task”When you start an agent task, Warp:
- Uses your prompt and context
- Builds a task list
- Searches across your codebase using tools like:
- Grep
- Codebase embeddings
- Semantic search
Warp shows progress step-by-step, including what it’s searching and which files are being modified.
2. Reviewing Diffs
Section titled “2. Reviewing Diffs”Warp generates diffs for every proposed change.
You can:
- Accept changes
- Refine them with a follow-up prompt (
Cmd + R) - Or directly edit the code in the inline editor view
This editor view works like a lightweight IDE — perfect for quick corrections before applying.
3. Applying or Skipping Changes
Section titled “3. Applying or Skipping Changes”Once you’re happy with a diff:
- Click Apply Changes to accept it
- Or Fast-Forward to let Warp automatically continue the rest of the fix sequence
You can control this level of autonomy globally in Settings → AI → Autonomy.
4. Compiling and Verifying Fixes
Section titled “4. Compiling and Verifying Fixes”After applying changes, you can immediately test your build, like:
cargo runWarp monitors compilation, verifies results, and runs post-checks automatically.
5. Visual Verification
Section titled “5. Visual Verification”In this example, the bug involved a checkbox not being honored in the UI.
After the agent’s fix:
- The checkbox logic now works as intended
- The model picker toggles correctly
- The UI behaves as expected
