description	Answer questions about Warp, Oz, agents, terminal features, billing, pricing, troubleshooting, privacy, skills, MCP, integrations, or any other Warp-related topic. Use when a user, support person, or engineer asks a question that can be answered from Warp's documentation. Searches the docs, synthesizes a comprehensive answer, and provides links to relevant doc pages.

Answer Question

Answer any question about Warp or Oz by searching the documentation in this repository and synthesizing a comprehensive, matter-of-fact response with links to source pages. For deep technical questions, also search Warp's source repositories for implementation details.

Workflow

1. Search for relevant docs

The documentation lives in docs/ with these sections:

• src/content/docs/ — Warp Terminal and IDE (getting started, terminal, code editor, knowledge & collaboration)
• src/content/docs/agent-platform/ — Agent Platform (local agents, cloud agents, capabilities, integrations)
• src/content/docs/reference/ — Technical reference (Oz CLI, API & SDK)
• src/content/docs/support-and-community/ — Support (troubleshooting, billing, privacy)
• src/content/docs/enterprise/ — Enterprise
• src/content/docs/changelog/ — Changelog

Search strategy:

• Use codebase_semantic_search on the docs repo to find relevant doc pages for the user's question.
• Use grep when searching for exact feature names, settings, CLI commands, or specific terms.
• Read matched files to gather authoritative content. Skim broadly first, then read key sections in detail.
• If the question spans multiple topics (e.g. "How do skills work with cloud agents?"), search each topic independently and cross-reference.
• Check astro.config.mjs (sidebar config) files in the relevant section if you need to locate a page by name.

2. Search source code (if needed)

For technical questions where the docs are insufficient, incomplete, or you want to validate your answer, search Warp's source repositories:

• warp-internal — Client-side code (Rust, Swift). Contains terminal features, editor, UI, Agent Mode client logic, Warp Drive, etc.
• warp-server — Server-side code (Go). Contains API endpoints, cloud agent orchestration, billing, auth, etc.

To find these repos, search for directories named warp-internal and warp-server on the user's machine. If not found, ask the user where they are.

Use source code to:

• Verify technical behavior, edge cases, or implementation details that docs don't fully cover
• Find exact CLI flag names, config options, or API parameters
• Understand how features interact under the hood
• Answer "how does X actually work?" questions that go beyond the docs

Both repos are indexed for codebase_semantic_search. Use grep for exact symbol/function names.

Important: Docs are the primary source of truth for user-facing answers. Use source code as supplementary context, not as a replacement. Always prefer doc-based explanations when available.

3. Compose the answer

• Be direct and matter-of-fact. Answer the question, don't summarize the docs.
• Be comprehensive — cover what the user needs to fully understand the answer — but don't pad with tangential information.
• Use Warp's standard terminology from AGENTS.md and the full glossary in .warp/references/terminology.md. Key rules: capitalize feature names (Agent, Agent Mode, Warp Drive, Codebase Context), use "agent" (generic) or "Warp Agent" (built-in harness) not "Oz agent" or "Ozzie", use "credits" not "AI credits."
• If the docs do not cover the topic, say so honestly. Do not guess or fabricate information.

4. Generate doc links

Every answer must end with a Relevant docs section listing links to the source pages used.

URL mapping rules (file path → published URL):

File path	URL
src/content/docs/{path}.mdx	https://docs.warp.dev/{path}
src/content/docs/agent-platform/{path}.mdx	https://docs.warp.dev/agent-platform/{path}
src/content/docs/reference/{path}.mdx	https://docs.warp.dev/reference/{path}
src/content/docs/support-and-community/{path}.mdx	https://docs.warp.dev/support-and-community/{path}
src/content/docs/enterprise/{path}.mdx	https://docs.warp.dev/enterprise/{path}
src/content/docs/changelog/{path}.mdx	https://docs.warp.dev/changelog/{path}

Key rules:

• src/content/docs/ is the homepage space — the warp/ prefix is NOT included in URLs. Example: src/content/docs/terminal/blocks/block-basics.mdx → https://docs.warp.dev/terminal/blocks/block-basics
• All other spaces include the space name in the URL. Example: src/content/docs/agent-platform/capabilities/skills.mdx → https://docs.warp.dev/agent-platform/capabilities/skills
• Strip the .mdx extension.
• index.mdx resolves to the parent directory path. Example: src/content/docs/agent-platform/cloud-agents/integrations/index.mdx → https://docs.warp.dev/agent-platform/cloud-agents/integrations
