The exact tools depend on provider, permissions, and project setup, but most ADE chat sessions can do the following.

Read and edit files

Search the repo, inspect files, apply edits, and explain changes.

Run commands

Use the lane terminal for tests, builds, package managers, scripts, and local tools.

Use Git

Check status, inspect diffs, stage files, commit, push, and manage branches.

Work with PRs

Create PRs, update descriptions, read CI failures, respond to comments, and help resolve review feedback.

Use Linear

Read linked issues, update issue context, and attach useful outcomes when Linear is connected.

Capture proof

Attach screenshots, recordings, traces, logs, or verification notes to the work.

Handle images

Accept screenshots, mockups, and diagrams as message attachments.

Ask for input

Pause cleanly for a choice or clarification instead of guessing.

Good chat requests

Find why the billing test fails and fix the smallest underlying bug.
Update the PR description from the current diff and include test evidence.
Read the auth module and explain where the redirect state is stored.

Review before trusting

Agent chat is powerful because it can change real files. Treat the result like any human contribution: inspect the diff, run relevant checks, and read the final summary.
