Feature summary
When opening a new session, user can see file picker in right rail and direclty edit, save, and commit files before first session in the prompt
What problem are you trying to solve?
TL;DR
As a user curating agent context in my repo, I often want to direclty edit files before I engage an agent. For example, I may want to write a spec or product hypothesis, and then work with an agent to spar on that idea.
Proposed solution
Current state:
- Start session
- Right rail not availabel
- Sumbit first prompt of session
- Right rail option appears
- Click right rail, choose file picker, edit files
Ideal state:
- Start session (local, worktree, etc.)
- RIght rail with file picker appears
- Choose file, edit, and then submit first prompt
- All changes should be able to be saved and commited before first prompt
Workflow impact
Why it's worth investing in
- Keeps user in GH app. The absence of a pre-session file picker and editor experience drives users to secondary editors (VS Code, Obsidian, etc.) outside of GH app. Introduces opportuntiy for incomplete session + creates context switching overhead for user.
