Review my open changes
promptAgent Mode
Have the agent review uncommitted and committed changes on your branch — logic bugs, edge cases, and project-convention drift — before you open the PR.
Prompt & workflow gallery
Do things with Mel
Real prompts and workflows the Mel team uses day to day — browse, copy one into the agent input, and make it yours. Every entry names the shipped feature it runs on.
Always review what a prompt will do — the agent asks before running commands or writing files unless you have autonomy on.
Create a PR from open changes
promptAgent Mode
Commit messages, a sensible PR description, push, and the open-in-browser step — one prompt end to end using git and the GitHub CLI.
Fetch PR comments into the terminal
promptAgent Mode
Pull every review comment for the current branch's PR with the GitHub CLI, grouped by file and thread, so you can address feedback without leaving Mel.
Set up an unfamiliar project
promptAgent Mode
Point the agent at a fresh clone: it reads the README and lockfiles, detects the stack and package manager, installs, and starts the project.
Investigate a failing test
promptAgent Mode
The agent reproduces the failure first, traces the cause through the code, and proposes a fix for approval before editing anything.
Plan before building
promptwrite_plan
Ask for a plan document first: Mel's write_plan tool opens the plan in a side panel next to the conversation before any code is written.
Ship a PDF report of the work
promptcreate_pdf
Turn an investigation or audit into a typeset PDF — headings, tables, syntax-highlighted code — with the agent's create_pdf tool.
Drive a team of agents
workflow/orchestrate
The lead agent decomposes your task, spawns worker agents in their own panes, assigns each a piece, and polls them to integration — hands-off.
Melt an SSH session
workflowSSH + Agent Mode
ssh into a box, then press Ctrl+Enter: the agent's file and command tools now run on the remote host — no remote install needed.
One worktree per task
workflowGit worktrees
The + tab menu creates a git worktree on a fresh branch for any tracked repo — parallel tasks get parallel checkouts, not stashes.
Launch a saved multi-pane workbench
workflowTab configs
A .toml tab config describes panes, working directories, and startup commands — one click opens your whole layout, parameters included.
Summarize what changed since main
promptAgent Mode
A readable narrative of your branch: what changed, why it holds together, and what a reviewer should look at first.
