Prompts in TIDE
C-q P, or P in the project pane, opens the prompts tab: every question the project’s Claude Code agents wait on, a permission, a trust question or a choice their model asks, answered from one place. With several agents and plan tasks running, no question waits unseen in a tab you are not looking at. It is wdx prompt on a screen that keeps itself current; the CLI side is in Agents.
What you see
Section titled “What you see”The list, one row per agent with a question open:
┬─[● planner(-)]─[? prompts 2(-)]───────────────────────[⤢]─┐ ▸ fix-readme yes/no Bash command · go test ./... planner decision Which store keeps the sessions?Enter opens a question on its own screen:
┬─[● planner(-)]─[? prompts 2(-)]───────────────────────[⤢]─┐ ‹ prompts · planner · decision · 2 of 2 ────────────────────────────────────────────────── Which store keeps the sessions?
❯ 1. (•) SQLite 2. ( ) Files 3. ( ) Type something. ───── 4. Chat about thisThe tab’s title counts the questions waiting, [? prompts 2(-)], and reads [prompts(-)] with none; the list then says no prompts.

How it behaves
Section titled “How it behaves”- Your own cursor. The cursor, the ticks and your text are TIDE’s: the agent’s own cursor does not move while you look, and the answer goes in one go once you send it.
- Never a question you did not see. wdx presses the keys in the agent’s terminal one at a time, checking each, and only while its screen still shows the question you answered. If it changed, nothing more is pressed and the tab says
not answered: the prompt changed before it was; a question that changes while open is drawn again withchanged, and one that closes leaves the screen. - Checkboxes send only on
Submit, so anEntermeant as a tick never sends;Submitwith nothing ticked sends nothing and says so. - Several questions in one decision come one at a time, with Claude Code’s tab line above them. Each but the last is sent as you answer it, as Claude Code shows only its current question and submits nothing before its review; after the last comes the tab’s review, every question with its answer, then
Submit answersandBack to the questions. OnlySubmit answerssends them. - Chat about this declines the questions and takes you to the agent’s tab, to talk it over.
- Claude Code only. Its questions are the ones wdx reads, so other AI CLIs’ agents never show here: answer them in their own tab.
- Kept across restarts, as the other tabs are, one per project.
- Private. Nothing TIDE or wdx logs holds a question, an option or what you typed.
