Chat

Every chat runs your own Claude Code, through the Claude Agent SDK, inside the chat's workstream.

Queue or steer

• ↵ sends a prompt, or queues it after the current run. Edit, reorder, or delete what is queued.
• ⌘↵ steers: it interrupts the turn and sends the prompt now, while background commands keep running.

A run stays open while its background commands and subagents run, and you can stop each one.

Plan first

Plan mode writes the plan, then Implement plan starts the work, with a model of its own if you like.

Model and effort per prompt

Pick Fable, Opus, Sonnet, or Haiku, and an effort from Low to Max, for every prompt.

Agent access

• Auto, the default, uses Claude Code's auto mode.
• Sandboxed edits the workstream and runs commands in a sandbox, and asks for anything else.
• Full access never asks.

When the agent asks, approve once, or always for the chat or the workstream.

Reports

Every turn ends with a report: Done, Done with something deferred, or Waiting on you, with what changed, what was verified, and the commit and pull request titles. Reports run from a screenshot and one line to the full write-up. A Your turn list, unread marks, a chime, and a notification tell you which workstream needs you.

Context

• @ mentions a file, and you can attach or paste images and files.
• Thinking shows inline, step by step, with a diff for every file the chat changed.
• The context window breakdown, your plan usage (five-hour and weekly), and MCP server status are one click from the composer.

Undo, edit, fork

Every run can be undone. Edit an earlier message to resend from there, or fork to a new chat while the agent is still busy. Runs that a restart cut short pick up where they left off the next time Malini opens.

Skills

A chat loads every Claude Code skill that is on. Settings, Skills ranks your skills and plugins by how often Claude Code used them, and turns them off in Claude Code's own settings. A job can narrow its skills to a preset.

Tools

In a Malini chat the agent also has Malini's own tools: a browser it shares with you, and your jobs, routines, and events. See Agent tools.
