Command Panel
The Command panel is the left-sidebar surface for fast message delivery and prompt execution across one or many agents.
Two Modes in One Panel
- Quick Prompts
- Broadcast
Both modes operate on your current agent selection in the right roster.
Quick Prompts
Quick Prompts are starred prompt files from the Library (~/.wardian/library/prompts).
What happens when you click a quick prompt:
- Wardian reads the prompt content
- flattens multiline content into terminal-safe input
- sends it to selected agents
- if no agents are selected, asks for confirmation before sending to all agents
Tips:
- Star prompts in the Library to make them appear here
- Use short prompt names so they are easy to scan under pressure
- Use this path for repeatable operational tasks (tests, diagnostics, common instructions)
Broadcast
Broadcast sends freeform text from the textarea to:
- selected agents, or
- all agents (after confirmation if nothing is selected)
Behavior:
- the text is submitted as terminal input through the same backend path used by direct terminal interaction
- one submission fan-outs to all chosen agent sessions
Selection Rules
- Single selected agent: command goes to that one agent
- Multi-select: command goes to all selected agents
- No selection: confirmation prompt appears before sending to all active agents
Common Patterns
- Use Quick Prompts for curated, repeatable instructions.
- Use Broadcast for ad-hoc coordination messages.
- Combine with watchlists to target only the relevant squad of agents.
