Typed context chips: @threads, @PRs, @skills, terminal selections, several quotes with comments #1526
Description
Today @ inserts a plain @path string for files and folders (src/mention.ts:36). ⌘⇧C makes a single reply chip (useCiteShortcut.ts:10, composer/ReplyChip.tsx) with no comment. The terminal has no send-to-composer action.
Proposal (M):
- The
@menu gains Threads, PRs, Skills (and Files as before). Each inserts a typed chip that expands at send time: a thread digest, a PR title/body/diffstat, skill instructions. - Select text in the Terminal pane → "Add to prompt" makes an excerpt chip with the command and line range.
- Quote chips: allow several per draft, each with an optional comment ("this part is wrong because…"); clicking jumps back to the source. Reuse the review-comment chip plumbing (
composer/ReviewCommentChips.tsx). - Chips survive restart through the existing draft persistence.
Covers #1185 (terminal → composer) and #1216 (quick-action output into the composer).

Starting #1526. Existing plumbing we will reuse:
@still inserts@pathtext (src/mention.ts); prompt snippets already sit in the same menu; review comments already persist and support several chips with optional notes (src/composerSession.ts,ReviewCommentChips.tsx); the single Reply chip is React state only and does not survive restart;formatThreadDigestalready lives inelectron/ask.js; terminal already hashasSelection/getSelection. Asking how the@menu should list Threads / PRs / Skills before writing the design.currentbits commentedon Oct 11, 2026
UX lock: one mixed
@list. Files stay@pathtext; Threads / PRs / Skills become chips. Design next: oneContextChipbag persisted next to review comments; expand at send; terminal gets Add to prompt only.currentbits commentedon Oct 11, 2026
Design approved (mixed @ list, one ContextChip bag, expand at send). Writing the spec and starting implementation: chip model + persist first, then mention menu, quotes, terminal Add to prompt, skills.read.

Spec written (
docs/superpowers/specs/2026-10-11-typed-context-chips-design.md) and implementation started.In this slice:
ContextChipmodel + formatters; persist incomposerSession; mixed@list inserts thread/PR/skill chips; several quote chips via Reply/⌘⇧C (optional note, click-to-source, survive restart); send expands quotes and clears chips.Still to do: live PR/skill mention sources,
skills.read+contextChipLoader(thread digest / PR detail), terminal Add to prompt.currentbits commentedon Oct 11, 2026
First slice is up: #1601
Shipped: mixed
@list, persistedContextChips (thread/PR/skill/quote), several quote chips with optional notes, expand-at-send.Still out of this PR: live PR/skill mention sources,
skills.readIPC, send-time loaders in App, Terminal Add to prompt.Attach threads, PRs, skills, and quotes as typed composer chips (#1526)…
