Welcome to Warp

1. Welcome to Warp

When you open Warp, you’ll see something familiar — a command line interface — but it’s much more than a traditional terminal. Warp is an Agentic Development Environment (ADE), meaning it’s a space where your primary mode of interaction is through prompts to an AI agent.

You can still use Warp just like any terminal:

ls
pwd

Warp executes those commands exactly as you’d expect. But when you type natural language — like “describe my open git changes” — Warp interprets it as a prompt to launch the agent.

2. Prompt-Based Coding

When you ask something in plain English, Warp’s agent automatically:

• Gathers relevant context (your repo, files, or command output)

• Runs whatever commands are needed

• Returns a structured answer or takes the requested action

Example:

“Describe my open git changes.”

Warp’s agent will review your current branch, run git commands in the background, and summarize what’s pending.

3. Blending Terminal and Agentic Workflows

The beauty of Warp is in how seamlessly it blends traditional CLI workflows with AI-driven automation. You can:

• Type commands like a normal shell

• Or prompt an agent to do things like debugging, code review, or environment setup

No context-switching between apps — it’s all one environment.
