====== Warp Terminal ======

**Warp** is an agentic development environment (ADE) that combines a modern Rust-built terminal, an integrated code editor, and AI agents into a single application. Named a TIME Best Invention of 2025,(("TIME Best Inventions 2025" -- [[https://time.com/collections/best-inventions-2025/7318249/warp-agentic-development-environment/|TIME Best Inventions 2025]])) Warp enables developers to run multiple AI agents, review their work, and ship code from prompt to production.

===== Overview =====

Warp 2.0 reimagines the terminal as an agentic development environment.(([[https://warp.dev/blog/reimagining-coding-agentic-development-environment|Warp 2.0 Announcement]])) Rather than a passive command-line interface, Warp provides an integrated workspace where AI agents can plan, code, execute terminal commands, review output, and iterate -- all under developer supervision. Its Oz agent ranks #1 on Terminal-Bench (52%) and top-5 on SWE-bench Verified (71%), with unique Full Terminal Use capabilities that no other product offers.(([[https://warp.dev|Warp Official Website]]))

===== Key Features =====

  * **Oz Agent** -- State-of-the-art coding agent with Full Terminal Use and Computer Use capabilities
  * **Full Terminal Use** -- Agent interacts with REPLs, debuggers, and full-screen apps like ''top'' -- unique to Warp
  * **Multi-Agent Support** -- Run and monitor multiple agents in parallel with human-in-the-loop oversight
  * **Code Editor** -- Built-in editor with LSP support, file tree, inline diffs for agent output review
  * **/plan Command** -- Spec-driven development where agent generates implementation plans for review before execution
  * **Interactive Code Review** -- Review agent code like a teammate's, with inline comments the agent addresses
  * **Drive** -- Centralized knowledge and context storage for agents and teammates
  * **Modern Terminal** -- Rust-native, no Electron; modern text editing, block-based output, secret redaction(([[https://github.com/warpdotdev/Warp|Warp on GitHub]]))
  * **Multi-Model** -- Instant access to latest models from OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google

===== Agent Workflows =====

Warp agents follow a structured workflow from prompt to production:

  - **Prompt** -- Developer describes the task via Universal Input with @-mentions for files, images, URLs
  - **Plan** -- Agent generates an implementation plan (''/plan'' command) for review and editing
  - **Execute** -- Agent writes code, runs terminal commands, interacts with REPLs and debuggers
  - **Verify** -- Agent uses Computer Use to inspect logs, servers, and file systems
  - **Review** -- Developer reviews diffs inline, leaves comments; agent addresses feedback
  - **Ship** -- Changes committed and pushed; plans can be attached to PRs

===== Integrations =====

  * **Slack** -- Trigger agents from Slack messages
  * **Linear** -- Assign tasks to agents from Linear issues
  * **GitHub Actions** -- CI/CD pipeline integration
  * **MCP (Model Context Protocol)** -- External context from Slack, Linear, Figma, Sentry
  * **WARP.md**(([[https://docs.warp.dev|Warp Documentation]])) -- Compatible with agents.md and claude.md for controlling agent behavior
