# Chat
|
|
|
|
Chat is CodePilot's core feature. This is where you collaborate with Claude on programming tasks.
|
|
|
|
## Conversation Modes
|
|
|
|
CodePilot offers three conversation modes, switchable at any time from above the input box:
|
|
|
|
### Code Mode
|
|
|
|
The default mode. Claude has full tool access and can:
|
|
|
|
- Read and write project files
|
|
- Execute terminal commands
|
|
- Call MCP tools
|
|
- Search the codebase
|
|
|
|
Best for everyday development tasks: writing code, fixing bugs, refactoring, deploying.
|
|
|
|
### Plan Mode
|
|
|
|
Planning mode. Claude only analyzes and formulates plans — **it will not execute any actions**.
|
|
|
|
- Analyzes problems and proposes implementation plans
|
|
- Lists files and steps that need to be changed
|
|
- Evaluates the pros and cons of different approaches
|
|
|
|
Best for thinking things through before taking action, or assessing the impact of large changes.
|
|
|
|
### Ask Mode
|
|
|
|
Q&A mode. Claude only answers questions and does not use any tools.
|
|
|
|
- Explains code logic
|
|
- Answers technical questions
|
|
- Discusses architecture and design
|
|
|
|
Best for pure knowledge Q&A scenarios where Claude does not need access to project files.
|
|
|
|
## Permission Control
|
|
|
|
### Session Permissions
|
|
|
|
Each conversation lets you choose a permission level:
|
|
|
|
- **Default** — Claude will ask for confirmation before performing sensitive operations (writing files, running commands)
|
|
- **Full Access** — Claude can automatically perform all operations without individual confirmation
|
|
|
|
The permission selector is next to the chat input box. Use Default for exploratory tasks; use Full Access for trusted, repetitive tasks.
|
|
|
|
### Permission Dialog
|
|
|
|
When Claude needs to perform a restricted operation, a permission confirmation dialog appears showing:
|
|
|
|
- Tool name and parameters
|
|
- Description of the operation
|
|
- Allow / Deny buttons
|
|
|
|
You can review each of Claude's actions one by one.
|
|
|
|
## Context Management
|
|
|
|
### Context Usage Indicator
|
|
|
|
The circular progress bar next to the input box shows the current conversation's context window usage. Hover over it for details:
|
|
|
|
- Tokens used
|
|
- Total available tokens
|
|
- Usage percentage
|
|
|
|
When the context approaches its limit, Claude will automatically compress message history to continue the conversation.
|
|
|
|
### Conversation Rewind
|
|
|
|
CodePilot supports rewinding a conversation to a previous point. Each user message is a rewind point — you can go back to any earlier message and restart the conversation from there.
|
|
|
|
## Input Features
|
|
|
|
### File Attachments
|
|
|
|
You can attach image files in the input box for Claude to analyze screenshots or design mockups. Supports drag-and-drop or clicking the attachment button.
|
|
|
|
### Slash Commands
|
|
|
|
Type `/` to trigger the slash command menu for quick access to common actions.
|
|
|
|
### @-Mentions
|
|
|
|
Type `@` to reference files or context, helping Claude focus on specific content.
|
|
|
|
## Session Management
|
|
|
|
### Import CLI Sessions
|
|
|
|
If you have previously used the Claude Code CLI, you can use the **Import Session** feature to bring CLI conversations into CodePilot. Supports searching and filtering past sessions.
|
|
|
|
### Provider Switching
|
|
|
|
The conversation header shows the current provider. You can switch providers mid-conversation — subsequent messages will be processed by the new provider. Each conversation remembers its provider setting.
