In the CLI, press `Ctrl+V` to paste an image from the clipboard. Note that you must use `Ctrl+V` , not `Cmd+V` , even on macOS. In the editor extension, paste an image using `Cmd+V` / `Ctrl+V` , or hold `Shift` and drag an image over the message field. You can also @-mention images by file path. ### Mentioning Files\n\nType `@` to search for a file to mention. ### Edit & Undo\n\nEditing a prior message in a thread automatically reverts any changes the agent made _after_ that message. To edit a prior message in the CLI, press `Tab` to navigate to prior messages. In the editor extension, scroll up in the thread and click on a prior message. You can also revert individual file changes by clicking the `N files changed` indicator. ### Queueing Messages\n\nYou can queue messages to be sent to the agent once it ends its turn, without interrupting its current work. To queue a message:\n\n* In the editor extension, type your message and press `Cmd-Shift-Enter` (macOS) or `Ctrl-Shift-Enter` (Windows/Linux). * In the CLI, use the `queue` command from the command palette.\n ... \nSection Title: **Congratulations** on installing Amp. This manual helps you get the most out of it. > Using Amp > AGENTS.md > Granular Guidance\nContent:\n$ amp permissions list  --builtin\n```\n\nThese defaults can be overridden with your own rules. See [Permissions for details.\n\nAmp acts on content in your workspace. Untrusted repositories, MCP servers, and other external inputs can influence what Amp does, including running commands on the built-in allow list. If you regularly work with untrusted sources, consider tightening your permissions or using an isolated development environment.\n\n### Built-in Tools\n\nYou can see Amp’s builtin tools by running `amp tools list` in the CLI or in the extension’s settings panel.\n\n### Toolboxes\n\nToolboxes allow you to extend Amp with simple scripts\ninstead of needing to provide an MCP server.\n\nWhen Amp starts it invokes each executable in the directory indicated by `AMP_TOOLBOX` ,\nwith the environment variable `TOOLBOX_ACTION` set to `describe` .\n\nThe tool is expected to write its description to `stdout` as a list of key-value pairs, one per line.\n\n```\n#!/usr/bin/env bun const  action  =  process . env . TOOLBOX_ACTION if ( action  === 'describe' ) showDescription ( ) else if ( action  === 'execute' ) runTests ( ) function showDescription ( ) {\nprocess . stdout . write ( [ 'name: run-tests' , 'description: use this tool instead of Bash to run tests in a workspace' , 'dir: string the workspace directory' , ] . join ( '\\n' ) , ) }\n ... \nSection Title: **Congratulations** on installing Amp.

Each subagent has its own context window and access to tools like file editing and terminal commands. Subagents are most useful for multi-step tasks that can be broken into independent parts, operations producing extensive output not needed after completion, parallel work across different code areas, and keeping the main thread’s context clean while coordinating complex work. However, subagents work in isolation — they can’t communicate with each other, you can’t guide them mid-task, they start fresh without your conversation’s accumulated context, and the main agent only receives their final summary rather than monitoring their step-by-step work.\n ... \nSection Title: **Congratulations** on installing Amp.

In VS Code, you can also configure the token via the `amp.bitbucketToken` setting. ### Painter\n\nAmp can generate and edit images using the Painter tool, powered by Gemini 3 Pro Image. Tell Amp to use the Painter when you need to create UI mockups, app icons, hero images, or edit existing images such as redacting sensitive information from screenshots. You can also provide up to 3 reference images for style guidance or editing by @-mentioning image files in your prompt. You might need to prompt the Amp explicitly to use the Painter. Here are some examples:\n\n* “Use the painter to create a UI mockup for my settings page.”\n* “Use the painter to generate an app icon for my CLI tool. Dark background with a glowing terminal cursor in cyan.”\n* “Use the painter to redact any visible API keys or passwords in this terminal screenshot.”\n\nSee the Painter announcement for more information. ### Code Review\n\nAmp can review your code for bugs, security issues, performance problems, and style violations—run `amp review` in the CLI or simply ask the main agent to review your changes. #### Checks\n\nChecks are user-defined review criteria scoped to specific parts of your codebase.\n ... \nSection Title: **Congratulations** on installing Amp.

This keeps the tool list clean and loads MCP tools only when needed.\n\nIf loading the MCP via skills isn’t suitable (if it must be always available in the context window), add it via the CLI or \\+ Add MCP Server in VS Code settings:\n\n```\n$ amp mcp  add  context7 -- npx  -y  @upstash/context7-mcp $ amp mcp  add  linear https://mcp.linear.app/sse\nSection Title: **Congratulations** on installing Amp. This manual helps you get the most out of it. > Using Amp > AGENTS.md > Granular Guidance\nContent:\n```\n\nMCP servers use the same configuration fields as MCP servers in skills — `command` / `args` / `env` for local servers, `url` / `headers` for remote. You can also configure `amp.mcpServers` directly in your configuration file , using `${VAR_NAME}` syntax for environment variables:\n\n```\n\"amp.mcpServers\" : { \"playwright\" : { \"command\" : \"npx\" , \"args\" : [ \"-y\" , \"@playwright/mcp@latest\" , \"--headless\" ] } , \"linear\" : { \"url\" : \"https://mcp.linear.app/sse\" } , \"sourcegraph\" : { \"url\" : \"${SRC_ENDPOINT}/.api/mcp/v1\" , \"headers\" : { \"Authorization\" : \"token ${SRC_ACCESS_TOKEN}\" } } }\nSection Title: **Congratulations** on installing Amp.

For servers requiring manual auth, pass headers directly or use manual OAuth registration .\n\n#### MCP Server Loading Order\n\nWhen the same MCP server name appears in multiple places, Amp uses this precedence (highest to lowest):\n\n1. CLI flags ( `--mcp-config` )\n2. User/workspace config ( `amp.mcpServers` )\n3. Skills (only loaded if not already configured above)\n\nThis means you can override skill-provided MCP servers with your own configuration if needed.\n\n#### Workspace MCP Server Trust\n\nMCP servers in workspace settings ( `.amp/settings.json` ) require explicit approval before they can run. This prevents untrusted code from executing automatically when you open a project.\n\nWhen a workspace MCP server is awaiting approval, you’ll see `awaiting approval` in `amp mcp doctor` output. To approve:\n\n```\n$ amp mcp approve my-server\n ... \nSection Title: **Congratulations** on installing Amp.

See the Appendix for the full technical reference. ## Thread Sharing\n\nThreads are conversations with the agent, containing all your messages, context, and tool calls. Your threads are visible at [ampcode.com/threads](https://ampcode.com/threads) . We find it useful to include Amp thread links in code reviews to give the reviewer more context. Reading and searching your team’s threads can also help you see what’s going on and how other people are using Amp. To change who you’re sharing a thread with:\n\n* In the CLI, type `/` for the command palette, then select `thread: set visibility` . * In the editor extension or on the web, use thesharing menu at the top. A thread’s visibility level can be set to:\n\n* Public: visible to anyone on your public profile ( `ampcode.com/@ _your-username_` ), and publicly searchable\n* Unlisted: visible to anyone on the internet with the link, and shared with your workspace\n* Workspace-shared: visible to all members of your workspace\n* Group-shared: visible to members of specific groups you choose; Enterprise workspaces only\n* Private: visible only to you\n\nIf you are not in a workspace, your threads are only visible to you by default. If you’re in a workspace, your threads are shared by default with your workspace members.\nSection Title: **Congratulations** on installing Amp. This manual helps you get the most out of it. > Using Amp > AGENTS.md > Granular Guidance\nContent:\nEnterprise workspaces can configure additional sharing controls; see Workspace Thread Visibility Controls . ## CLI\n\nAfter installing and signing in, run `amp` to start the Amp CLI. Without any arguments, it runs in interactive mode:\n\n```\nSection Title: **Congratulations** on installing Amp. This manual helps you get the most out of it. > Using Amp > AGENTS.md > Granular Guidance\nContent:\n$ amp\n```\n\nIf you pipe input to the CLI, it uses the input as the first user message in interactive mode:\n\n```\n$ echo \"commit all my changes\" |  amp\n```\n\nUse `-x` or `--execute` to start the CLI in execute mode. In this mode, it sends the message provided to `-x` to the agent, waits until the agent ended its turn, prints its final message, and exits:\n\n```\n$ amp  -x \"what files in this folder are markdown files? Print only the filenames.\" README.md\nAGENTS.md\n```\n\n(Note: Execute mode ( `amp -x` ) consumes paid credits only, not ad-supported free-tier credits, because we can’t display ads in programmatic or non-interactive contexts.)\n\nYou can also pipe input when using `-x` :\n\n```\n$ echo \"what package manager is used here?\" |  amp  -x cargo\n```\n\nIf you want to use `-x` with the agent using tools that might require approval, make sure to either use `--dangerously-allow-all` or configure Amp to allow them :\n\n```\n$ amp --dangerously-allow-all  -x \"Run  `sed`  to replace 2024 with 2025 in README.\" Done. Replaced 8 occurrences of 2024 in README.md\n```\n\nExecute mode is automatically turned on when you redirect stdout:\n\n```\n$ echo \"what is 2+2?\" |  amp  >  response.txt\n```\n\nWhen you pipe input and provide a prompt with `-x` , the agent can see both:\n\n```\nSection Title: **Congratulations** on installing Amp. This manual helps you get the most out of it. > Using Amp > AGENTS.md > Granular Guidance\nContent:\n$ cat  ~/.vimrc  |  amp  -x \"which colorscheme is used?\" The colorscheme used is **gruvbox** with dark background and hard contrast.\n```vim\nset background=dark\nlet g:gruvbox_contrast_dark = \"hard\"\ncolorscheme gruvbox\n```\n```\n\nYou can use the `--mcp-config` flag with `-x` commands to specify an MCP server without modifying your configuration file.\n\n```\n$ amp --mcp-config  '{\"everything\": {\"command\": \"npx\", \"args\": [\"-y\", \"@modelcontextprotocol/server-everything\"]}}' -x \"What tools are available to you?\"\n```\n\nTo see more of what the CLI can do, run `amp --help` .\n\n### Keybindings\n\nThe most important keybinding is `Ctrl+O` to open the command palette. Other keybindings\nworth remembering:\n\n* `Ctrl+G` to open the current prompt in your editor (requires `$EDITOR`)\n* `Ctrl+S` to switch agent modes\n* `Ctrl+R` for prompt history\n* `↑` / `↓` to move to previous messages and edit them\n* `Alt+T` to expand thinking/tool blocks\n* `Alt+D` to toggle deep reasoning effort (deep, deep², deep³)\n* `@` to mention files\n\nUse `Ctrl+O` to open the command palette and run `amp: help` to see more keybindings.\n\n### Non-Interactive Environments\n\nFor non-interactive environments (e.g. scripts, CI/CD pipelines), set your access token in an environment variable:\n\n```\nexport AMP_API_KEY = your-access-token-here\nSection Title: **Congratulations** on installing Amp. This manual helps you get the most out of it. > Using Amp > AGENTS.md > Granular Guidance\nContent:\n```\n\n### CLI–IDE Integration\n\nThe Amp CLI integrates with VS Code, JetBrains, Neovim, and Zed (see ampcode.com/install to install), which lets the Amp CLI:\n\n* Read diagnostics, such as typechecker and linter errors\n* See the current open file and selection, so Amp can understand the context of your prompt better\n* Edit files through your IDE, with full undo support\n\nThe CLI automatically detects when you have an Amp editor extension running in most cases. If you are using JetBrains and run the Amp CLI from a terminal _other than_ JetBrains’ builtin terminal, you need to run `amp --jetbrains` to detect it. Amp detects Zed without the need for a Zed editor extension. ### Shell Mode\n\nExecute shell commands directly in the CLI by starting your message with `$` . The command and its output will be included in the context window for the next message to the agent. Use `$$` to activate incognito shell mode, where commands execute but aren’t included in the context. This is useful for noisy commands or quick checks you’d normally run in a separate terminal. ### Writing Prompts in the CLI\n\nIn modern terminal emulators, such as Ghostty, Wezterm, Kitty, or iTerm2, you can use `shift-enter` to insert a newline in your prompts. Additionally you can also use type `\\` followed by `return` to insert a newline.\nSection Title: **Congratulations** on installing Amp. This manual helps you get the most out of it. > Using Amp > AGENTS.md > Granular Guidance\nContent:\nIf you have the environment variable `$EDITOR` set, you can use the `editor` command from the command palette to open your editor to write a prompt. ### Streaming JSON\n\nAmp’s CLI supports streaming JSON output format, one object per line on stdout, for programmatic integration and real-time conversation monitoring. Use the `--stream-json` flag with `--execute` mode to output in stream JSON format instead of plain text. If you want assistant thinking blocks in the JSON output, add `--stream-json-thinking` (this extends the schema and is not Claude Code compatible). Basic usage with argument:\n\n```\nSection Title: **Congratulations** on installing Amp.

It cannot be used standalone. `--stream-json-input` requires `--stream-json` , and `--stream-json-thinking` implies `--stream-json` .\n\nWhen using `--stream-json-input` , the behavior of `--execute` changes in that Amp will only exit once both the assistant is done _and_ stdin has been closed.\n\nThis allows for programmatic use of the Amp CLI to have conversations with multiple user messages.\n\n```\n#!/usr/bin/env bash send_message ( ) { local text = \" $1 \" echo '{\"type\":\"user\",\"message\":{\"role\":\"user\",\"content\":[{\"type\":\"text\",\"text\":\"' $text '\"}]}}' } {\nsend_message  \"what's 2+2?\" sleep 10\nsend_message  \"now add 8 to that\" sleep 10\nsend_message  \"now add 5 to that\" } |  amp  --execute  --stream-json --stream-json-input\nSection Title: **Congratulations** on installing Amp. This manual helps you get the most out of it. > Using Amp > AGENTS.md > Granular Guidance\nContent:\n```\n\nSee the Appendix for the schema of the output, example output, and more usage examples.\n\n### Themes\n\nThe Amp CLI ships with several built-in themes:\n\n* `terminal` , default, uses your terminal colors and preserves transparency\n* `dark`\n* `light`\n* `catppuccin-mocha`\n* `solarized-dark`\n* `solarized-light`\n* `gruvbox-dark-hard`\n* `nord`\n\nYou can switch themes using the command palette ( `Ctrl+O` ) and selecting `theme: switch` .\n\nYou can also set the theme in your settings:\n\n```\n{ \"amp.terminal.theme\" : \"catppuccin-mocha\" }\n```\n\n#### Creating Custom Themes\n\nCreate a custom theme by adding a `colors.toml` file in `~/.config/amp/themes/<name>/` :\n\n```\n~/.config/amp/themes/\n└── my-theme/\n└── colors.toml\n```\n\n**Minimal theme (6 required colors):**\n\n```\nname = \"My Theme\"\n[colors]\nbackground = \"\"\nforeground = \"\"\nprimary = \"\"\nsuccess = \"\"\nwarning = \"\"\ndestructive = \"\"\n```\n\nAll other colors are derived automatically. Dark/light mode is detected from background luminance.\n\n**Transparent background:**\n\nTo preserve your terminal’s transparency (for terminals with background images or blur effects), use `\"none\"` as the background color:\n\n```\nname = \"My Transparent Theme\"\n[colors]\nbackground = \"none\"\nforeground = \"\"\nprimary = \"\"\nsuccess = \"\"\nwarning = \"\"\ndestructive = \"\"\nSection Title: **Congratulations** on installing Amp. This manual helps you get the most out of it. > Using Amp > AGENTS.md > Granular Guidance\nContent:\n```\n\nThe built-in `terminal` theme uses a transparent background by default.\n\n**Full theme (all options):**\n\n```\nname = \"My Theme\"\nmode = \"dark\"  # optional - auto-detected from background\n[colors]\nbackground = \"\"\nforeground = \"\"\nprimary = \"\"\nsecondary = \"\"\naccent = \"\"\nsuccess = \"\"\nwarning = \"\"\ninfo = \"\"\ndestructive = \"\"\n[ui]\ncursor = \"\"\nborder = \"\"\nselection = \"\"\nmuted_foreground = \"\"\n[syntax]\nkeyword = \"\"\nstring = \"\"\nnumber = \"\"\ncomment = \"\"\nfunction = \"\"\nvariable = \"\"\ntype = \"\"\noperator = \"\"\nSection Title: **Congratulations** on installing Amp. This manual helps you get the most out of it. > Using Amp > AGENTS.md > Granular Guidance\nContent:\n```\n\nCustom themes appear in the theme switcher alongside built-in themes. ## Configuration\n\nAmp can be configured through settings in your editor extension (e.g. `.vscode/settings.json` ) and the CLI configuration file. The CLI configuration file location varies by operating system:\n\n* macOS: `~/.config/amp/settings.json`\n* Linux: `~/.config/amp/settings.json`\n* Windows: `%USERPROFILE%\\.config\\amp\\settings.json`\n\nAll settings use the `amp.` prefix. ### Settings\n\n#### Editor Extension and CLI\n\n* **`amp.anthropic.thinking.enabled`**\n  \n  **Type:** `boolean` , **Default:** `true`\n  \n  Enable Claude’s extended thinking capabilities\n* **`amp.fuzzy.alwaysIncludePaths`**\n  \n  **Type:** `array` , **Default:** `[]`\n  \n  Glob patterns for paths that should always be included in fuzzy file search, even if they are gitignored. Useful for build output directories or generated files you want to reference with `@` mentions. Examples: `[\"dist/**\", \"node_modules/@myorg/**\"]`\n* **`amp.permissions`**\n  \n  **Type:** `array` , **Default:** `[]`\n  \n  Configures which tool uses are allowed, rejected or ask for approval. See Permissions . * **`amp.showCosts`**\n  \n  **Type:** `boolean` , **Default:** `true`\n  \n  Show cost information for threads in the CLI and editor extension while working.\n ... \nSection Title: **Congratulations** on installing Amp. This manual helps you get the most out of it. > Using Amp > AGENTS.md > Granular Guidance\nContent:\n* **`amp.skills.path`**\n  \n  **Type:** `string`\n  \n  Path to additional directories containing skills. Supports colon-separated paths (semicolon on Windows). Use `~` for home directory. Example: `~/my-skills:/shared/team-skills`\n* **`amp.terminal.commands.nodeSpawn.loadProfile`**\n  \n  **Type:** `string` , **Default:** `\"always\"` , **Options:** `\"always\"` | `\"never\"` | `\"daily\"`\n  \n  Before running commands (including MCP servers), whether to load environment variables from the user’s profile ( `.bashrc` , `.zshrc` , `.envrc` ) as visible from the workspace root directory\n* **`amp.tools.disable`**\n  \n  **Type:** `array` , **Default:** `[]`\n  \n  Disable specific tools by name. Use ‘builtin:toolname’ to disable only the builtin tool with that name (allowing an MCP server to provide a tool by that name). Glob patterns using `*` are supported. * **`amp.tools.stopTimeout`**\n  \n  **Type:** `number` , **Default:** `300`\n  \n  How many seconds to wait before canceling a running tool\n* **`amp.mcpPermissions`**\n  \n  **Type:** `array` , **Default:** `[]`\n  \n  Allow or block MCP servers that match a designated pattern. The first rule that matches is applied. If no rule matches an MCP server, the server will be allowed.\n ... \nSection Title: **Congratulations** on installing Amp. This manual helps you get the most out of it. > Using Amp > AGENTS.md > Granular Guidance\nContent:\n```\n\n#### CLI-only\n\n* **`amp.updates.mode`**\n\n**Type:** `string` , **Default:** `\"auto\"`\n\nControl update checking behavior: `\"warn\"` shows update notifications, `\"disabled\"` turns off checking, `\"auto\"` automatically runs update. Note: Setting `AMP_SKIP_UPDATE_CHECK=1` environment variable will override this setting and disable all update checking. * **`amp.internal.deepReasoningEffort`**\n\n**Type:** `string` , **Default:** `\"medium\"` , **Options:** `\"medium\"` | `\"high\"` | `\"xhigh\"`\n\nOverride the default reasoning effort for GPT-5.2 Codex in `deep` mode. ### Enterprise Managed Settings\n\nEnterprise workspace administrators can enforce settings that override user and workspace settings by deploying their policies to the following locations on machines running Amp:\n\n* **macOS** : `/Library/Application Support/ampcode/managed-settings.json`\n* **Linux** : `/etc/ampcode/managed-settings.json`\n* **Windows** : `C:\\ProgramData\\ampcode\\managed-settings.json`\n\nThis managed settings file uses the same schema as regular settings files, with one additional field:\n\namp.admin.compatibilityDate `string`\n\nDate field used for determining what migrations need to be applied for settings backward compatibility. Expected format: YYYY-MM-DD (e.g., '2024-01-15').\nSection Title: **Congratulations** on installing Amp.
