Agent Context Menu for Quick Additions

The agent panel now includes a context menu accessed via the + button, making it easier to add context with your mouse instead of typing @ mentions.

What’s in the Menu

The + dropdown displays all available context options:

  • @mentions: Files, diagnostics, selections, etc.
  • Images: Attach screenshots or images
  • Selections: Include selected code
  • Future features: Skills and custom context (coming soon)

How to Use

  1. Click the + button in the agent message editor
  2. Browse available context options in the dropdown
  3. Select the context you want to add
  4. Context is automatically inserted into your message

All menu options are also available by typing @ in the message editor.

Why This Matters

Discoverability: See all available context types without memorizing @ commands.

Mouse-friendly: Add context without switching to keyboard.

Visual feedback: Preview what context is available before adding.

This menu serves as foundation for upcoming features like custom skills and advanced context management.
