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 2025,1) 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.2) 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.
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
- 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 (
/plancommand) 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 – Compatible with agents.md and claude.md for controlling agent behavior
