title: Command Palette

# Implement Command Palette
Build a VSCode-style command palette that opens as a centered modal dialog.
---
## Requirements
### Visual Design
- **Trigger**: Keyboard shortcut `Cmd+Shift+P` (Mac) or `Ctrl+Shift+P` (Windows/Linux)
- **Appearance**: Modal dialog centered on screen with backdrop overlay
- **Size**: ~600px wide, auto height with max height
- **Components**:
- Search/filter input at top
- Scrollable list of commands below
- Each command shows: name, description, keyboard shortcut (if any)
### Behavior
- Opens on `Cmd+Shift+P`
- Closes on `Escape` or clicking outside
- Search input is auto-focused when opened
- Filter commands as user types (fuzzy search preferred)
- Arrow keys navigate through filtered list
- Enter executes selected command
- Mouse click on command also executes it
- Closes automatically after command execution
---
## Commands to Include
### Essential Commands (MVP)
1. **Initialize AGENTS.md** (`/init`)
- Description: "Create or update AGENTS.md file"
- Action: Call `client.session.init()`
2. **Compact Session** (`/compact`)
- Description: "Summarize and compact the current session"
- Action: Call `client.session.summarize()`
3. **Undo Last Message** (`/undo`)
- Description: "Revert the last message"
- Action: Call `client.session.revert()`
4. **Toggle Thinking Blocks** (`/thinking`)
- Description: "Show/hide AI thinking process"
- Action: Toggle UI state (placeholder for now)
5. **Show Help** (`/help`)
- Description: "Display keyboard shortcuts and help"
- Action: Open help modal (placeholder for now)
### Navigation Commands (Trigger Existing Shortcuts)
6. **New Session**
- Description: "Create a new session"
- Shortcut: `Cmd+Shift+N`
- Action: Trigger existing `new-session` keyboard shortcut
7. **Open Model Selector**
- Description: "Choose a different model"
- Shortcut: `Cmd+P`
- Action: Focus model selector input
8. **Open Agent Selector**
- Description: "Choose a different agent"
- Action: Click agent selector to open dropdown
---
## Implementation Details
### File Structure
```
src/
components/
command-palette.tsx # Main command palette component
lib/
commands.ts # Command registry and definitions
stores/
command-palette.ts # State for showing/hiding palette
```
### Command Registry Structure
```typescript
interface Command {
id: string
label: string
description: string
keywords?: string[] // For fuzzy search
shortcut?: KeyboardShortcut
action: () => void | Promise<void>
category?: string // Group commands by category
}
```
### Integration Points
1. **Register global keyboard shortcut** in App.tsx:
```typescript
keyboardRegistry.register({
id: "command-palette",
key: "p",
modifiers: { meta: true, shift: true },
handler: () => setShowCommandPalette(true),
})
```
2. **Pass necessary props** to command palette:
- Current instance ID
- Current session ID
- SDK client reference
- Handler functions for UI actions
3. **Execute commands** based on type:
- API calls: Use SDK client
- UI actions: Call selector focus/click
- Shortcuts: Trigger registered keyboard shortcuts

## UI Component Details
### Layout
```
┌──────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ Command Palette │
├──────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ 🔍 Type a command or search... │
├──────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
Initialize AGENTS.md │
│ Create or update AGENTS.md file │
│ │
│ Compact Session │
│ Summarize and compact the current session │
│ │
│ New Session ⌘⇧N │
│ Create a new session │
│ │
│ Open Model Selector ⌘P │
│ Choose a different model │
└──────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
```
### Styling
- Use Kobalte Dialog for modal foundation
- Dark/light mode support matching app theme
- Highlight selected command with blue background
- Show keyboard shortcuts right-aligned in gray
- Smooth animations for open/close
### Keyboard Navigation
- `Cmd+Shift+P`: Open palette
- `Escape`: Close palette
- `ArrowUp`: Previous command
- `ArrowDown`: Next command
- `Enter`: Execute selected command
- Type to filter
---
## Acceptance Criteria
- [ ] Palette opens with `Cmd+Shift+P`
- [ ] Search input is auto-focused
- [ ] All 8 commands are listed
- [ ] Typing filters commands (case-insensitive substring match)
- [ ] Arrow keys navigate through list
- [ ] Enter executes selected command
- [ ] Click executes command
- [ ] Escape or click outside closes palette
- [ ] Palette closes after command execution
- [ ] Keyboard shortcuts display correctly (⌘⇧N, ⌘P, etc.)
- [ ] Commands execute their intended actions:
- `/init` calls API
- `/compact` calls API
- `/undo` calls API
- New Session creates a session
- Model/Agent selectors open
- [ ] Works in both light and dark mode
- [ ] Smooth open/close animations
---
## Future Enhancements (Post-MVP)
- Fuzzy search algorithm (not just substring)
- Command history (recently used commands first)
- Command categories/grouping
- Custom user-defined commands
- Command arguments/parameters
- Command aliases
- Search by keyboard shortcut
- Quick switch between sessions/instances
---
## Notes
- This replaces the slash command (`/command`) approach
- Command palette is more discoverable and flexible
- Provides a foundation for adding more commands in the future
- Similar to VSCode Cmd+Shift+P, Sublime Text Cmd+Shift+P, etc.
