Workspace tools

Files, terminals, diffs, attachments, and runtime activity inside a Radian project.

The desktop keeps the conversation close to the evidence needed to review it.

Files and mentions

Browse project files and add file or folder references to a prompt. Mentions are resolved against the workspace index so the agent receives explicit context rather than an ambiguous filename.

Terminals

Each thread can keep shell state in a persistent terminal session. Shell output can appear in the transcript, and the same terminal can be opened directly when you want to take over.

Diffs and review

Changed files and diffs stay attached to the working context. The intended workflow is to inspect what the agent changed, continue the conversation when something needs correction, and only then move the work toward a commit or pull request.

Attachments

Radian supports durable pasted files and image attachments. Attachments remain associated with the thread rather than disappearing when the application restarts.

Runtime activity

Approvals, queued messages, tasks, subagents, workflows, MCP status, and other runtime observations are projected onto the active thread. Stopped or replaced runtimes cannot silently reclaim a thread's visible state.
