Slash commands allow you to bring in specific context e.g. tab, file, terminal output. You can create custom prompts and ask it to fetch contents from a URL. Can also be triggered in-line from within a source file and from the terminal. Workflows provide step by step instructions. ### Tradeoffs Obviously requires you to use Zed as your editor. The assistant UI is a fully editable view which gives you control, but takes a bit of getting used to. This review reflects Console’s assessment at publication on 2024-08-22.
