User Feedback

When opening a Work Item into an EditLess session, users want to choose session mode (agent/plan/autopilot), start from a generated default prompt, and optionally edit before launch.

Problem

Current flow requires extra manual steps when launching a session from a work item. No way to:

  • Choose the session mode (agent / plan / autopilot)
  • Start from a generated default prompt based on the work item
  • Edit the prompt before the session opens

Why It Matters

  • Users want a fast "one click to productive session" workflow
  • Especially useful for repeatable or structured work items
  • Reduces friction for the most common EditLess workflow

Suggested Enhancement

  • Quick pick to select mode before launch
  • Generate a default prompt from work item title + description
  • Show an input box with the generated prompt, editable before launch
  • Optionally: configurable "launch command" or template per work item type
