Apply an exact string replacement patch to an existing file.

present_filechanges things
Present a file you created or have (image, audio, video, PDF, document, spreadsheet, data) to the user as a downloadable, previewable deliverable. Use after you generate or save a file the user should receive — pass the path. This does not create the file; the file must already exist.

plan_taskread-only
Generate a concrete execution plan with ordered steps, risks, and checkpoints.
Planning and checking
present_planread-only

ask_userread-only
Request structured user input as part of a human-in-the-loop flow.

ask_user_asyncread-only

People
human_reviewread-only
Pause for human review and approval before continuing.
People

Delegate a focused task to a sub-agent with its own context and tools. Use for searches that would flood your context, or for independent work you can run in parallel.

Stop a background task (a command or a sub-agent) by its task id.

Memory
visionread-only
Send an image (file path, URL, data URL, or base64) to a vision-capable LLM and return a textual analysis.

Convert text to spoken audio. Saves an audio file and returns its path so a chat surface can play it. Use for a spoken summary or voice reply.
