The composer

Surface ownership

Build home starts in invisible General. The Agents panel manages Iterel's Research, Strategy, and Creative Direction specialists, your private agents, project-shared agents, and verified engine-native agents. Selecting an agent shows one removable tag; its cited Chat retains the exact version. A one-off picker-authorized @agent affects only that submission.

The Task dashboard owns Run / Ask. Design, Project Map, and Whiteboard use a compact one-line contextual composer with optional context chips, +, voice, and send. They may invoke one read-only agent by @handle, but never repeat a persistent agent, destination, engine/provider, connector, permission, or autonomy stack.

Conductor is the internal routing/orchestration layer. It is not a persona, place, panel destination, or mode.

Add context and tools

Use + to attach uploads, saved Assets, project context, or a source from a project-bound integration. A contextual + menu shows only tools relevant to that surface. Figma Import appears under Design + only when the current project has an exact usable Figma binding. Generate image is also a tool and saves a provenance-bearing file to Assets.

The microphone starts paid, project-grounded voice transcription where the surface exposes it. Voice updates the current draft; stopping voice does not submit, create a Chat, or start a Task until the user explicitly sends the staged text.

General routing

• A cited question becomes a saved Chat.
• Work becomes a Task using the appropriate surface context and engine.
• Agent Ask stays in a cited Agent Chat; Delegate creates an ordinary pinned Task.
• A Task Run with a reviewer creates an isolated review round and findings; it never replaces implementation Changes.
• Generate image creates a file and saves it to Assets.
• A Design mutation creates or binds its tracked Task before canvas state changes, even when phrased as a question.

Explicit agent, Task, surface, and tool actions bypass General classification. / focuses the active surface input. It never opens a competing second composer.
