How to use the Workbench panels.

Nine proof panels that dock beside the chat, on demand.

• Panels nine, on demand
• Docks beside the chat
• Shared by you, Toad, agents
• Git via the gh CLI

1. Open a panel — pull it from the dock without leaving the chat.
2. Pick the right one — Preview, Files, Git, Terminal, and five more.
3. Run the GitHub flow — branches, PRs, and merges via gh.
4. Schedule jobs — put routine work on a cadence.

Open a panel from the dock

• Open what you need from the Workbench dock while you talk to Toad.
• The chat stays centered — the panel comes to you.

It docks beside the chat

• Panels open alongside the conversation, not over it.
• Toad and agents inspect the same rendered page, file, or diff you see.
• Dismiss after the proof; re-open any time.

Reach for the panel that fits the step

• Preview for visual QA, Files and Git for source, Terminal for a focused check.
• Add Search, Problems, Schedule, Cost, or Review as needed.
• The chat lives in Studio; the Workbench is the proof beside it.

Run the full GitHub flow via the gh CLI

• Branches, PRs, and merges run through the gh CLI from the Git panel.
• Each task gets its own worktree, so parallel agents never collide; finished work integrates back to main automatically.
• You review the change in the panel before it lands.

Schedule jobs and loops

• Set one-shot or recurring jobs and loops from the Schedule panel.
• Output lands beside the conversation that set it up.
