Thread Panel

Thread Panel

The Thread Panel is a unified list of every message thread in the current project. Each chat conversation, agent run, and delegated sub-task creates a thread; the Thread Panel lets you navigate and monitor all of them from one place.

Open via: Execution dropdown → Thread Panel

What a thread is​

A thread is the record of a single agent conversation — the user messages, agent replies, tool calls, and status updates that belong to one unit of work. Threads are created when:

  • You start a new Chat tab
  • An agent spawns a sub-agent (which gets its own thread)
  • A hook or scheduled trigger starts an agent run

Thread list​

The Thread Panel shows all threads sorted by most-recently-active. Each row displays:

  • Agent icon + name — which agent handled this thread
  • Thread title — the first message or a generated summary
  • Status badge — running, completed, failed, paused
  • Timestamp — when the thread was last active

Click any thread to open the Thread Detail view, which shows the full message history — including sub-agent calls, tool results, and streaming output.

Thread Detail​

The Thread Detail panel is a read-only replay of the thread. It shows:

  • Every user message and agent reply
  • Each tool call with its input and output
  • Token counts per turn
  • Errors and retries

Use Thread Detail to understand exactly what an agent did — especially useful when a run completed in the background and you want to review the full trace.

Filtering threads​

Use the search bar at the top of the Thread Panel to filter by:

  • Thread title keyword
  • Agent name
  • Status (running, completed, failed)

Thread status badges​

BadgeMeaning
runningAgent is actively processing
completedAgent finished successfully
failedAgent encountered an unrecoverable error
pausedAgent is waiting for user input
cancelledRun was manually stopped

Resuming a paused thread​

When an agent needs clarification it can't resolve on its own, it pauses and marks the thread as paused. The thread row is highlighted in the Thread Panel. Click it → type your response → the agent resumes from where it stopped.

Cleaning up​

Right-click a completed thread → Archive to remove it from the active list. Archived threads are kept in history and can be searched from the Thread Panel's archive view.
