Decks and the Map

OpenAgents for Mac can show a slide deck full screen, and a map of how OpenAgents routes every message.

Open a deck

In a chat on the Mac, ask for it by name:

  • "Show the Test-Time Capabilities deck"
  • "Open the Three DevDays Later deck"

The deck opens over the window. Three decks ship with the app today: Three DevDays Later, Test-Time Capabilities, and OpenAgents, from episode 289.

EscLeave full screen, then close the deck

The buttons along the bottom do the same, with a slide counter. Some slides are live: the Grid behind a title, the Map you can drag and zoom, or link cards that open in your browser when clicked.

Decks open only in the Mac app. Asked on the phone or in the Terminal, the reply says so.

The Map

The Map shows OpenAgents as one zoomable graph: the router every message reaches first, its routes, the prepared answers and knowledge behind them, the chat model, Coder, the coding agents, the plugins, and the screens an answer can open. Each kind has its own color, listed in the legend.

Open it from Map in the sidebar's footer of OpenAgents for Mac, from Commands (Cmd+K, Open the map), or from the Window menu. Or ask in a Mac chat: "show me how you route things".

  • Drag to pan; pinch, or Cmd and the wheel, to zoom.
  • A click on a node shows its details; a double-click zooms in.
  • A ring shows health: no ring is measured and good, a red ring is measured and weak, and a dashed ring isn't measured yet. A red dot marks a gap, where OpenAgents is thin.
  • The Gaps panel lists them, and an outline lists every node.
  • Each plugin shows the step it has reached: Not packaged, Candidate, a verdict, Reproduced, Validated, or Adopted.

The phone and the Terminal answer the same question with a sentence; the Map is on the Mac.
