title: Agent Command Palette
description: Search, add, and open Agent Skills and Memory without leaving your current project page.

The Agent command palette is a keyboard-first shortcut for Agent capabilities. It is useful when you know what you need and do not want to browse the full Agent page.

## What this covers

You will be able to open the palette, search its three capability groups, use the keyboard, and understand what selecting each result does.

## Availability and prerequisites

- You must be inside a project.
- Skills remain subject to plan access and each Skill's configurable state.
- Memory results appear only when unified Memory is enabled.
- This palette is different from project navigation search: **Command/Ctrl + K** searches destinations and conversations, while **Command/Ctrl + Shift + K** opens Agent capabilities.

## Entry path

From any current project page, press **Command + Shift + K** on macOS or **Ctrl + Shift + K** on Windows and Linux.

## Controls

| Entry or key | Why it is useful | What happens next |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Search field | Find Skills by name, description, category, or type, and Memories by content, tags, type, or scope. | Results update under Added, Discover, and Memory. |
| **All** | Search every available capability type. | Skills and, when available, Memory appear together. |
| **Skills** | Limit results to installed and discoverable Skills. | Memory rows are hidden. |
| **Memory** | Limit results to saved memories. | This tab is hidden when Memory is unavailable. |
| Up/Down arrows | Move through results without a mouse. | The highlighted row changes. |
| Enter | Select the highlighted row. | The result performs its type-specific action. |
| Escape | Leave without changing anything. | The palette closes. |

## What selection does

| Result type | What happens when selected |
| --- | --- |
| Added configurable Skill | Runner toggles the Skill's active state when your plan allows it. |
| Fixed System Skill | The row remains unchanged if that Skill cannot be toggled. |
| Discover Skill | Runner starts adding the Skill; the row can show **Adding…**. |
| Memory | The palette closes and opens **Agent → Memory** with a search based on that memory. |
| Skill without plan access | Runner opens **Agent → Skills**, where the plan gate explains the available next step. |

## Use the palette

1. Press **Command/Ctrl + Shift + K**.
2. Type a distinctive word from the Skill name, source, or memory content.
3. If needed, select **Skills** or **Memory** to narrow the list.
4. Use the arrow keys to highlight a row.
5. Review the action text on the right, such as **Add** or **Open**.
6. Press Enter only when that is the action you want.
7. Confirm the result on the Agent page or in the updated palette state.

## States and limits

- **Nothing to show** means the current tab and query returned no rows.
- **Adding…** is a progress state, not confirmation that installation finished.
- The palette is optimized for quick selection; create, edit, delete, Memory scope, and detailed Skill settings remain on the full Agent page.
- Selecting an active Skill can pause it. Read the row state before pressing Enter.

## Troubleshooting

- If **Command/Ctrl + K** opens project search, add Shift to open the Agent palette.
- If Memory is absent, the account does not currently have the unified Memory surface.
- If Enter opens the Agent page instead of toggling a Skill, follow the displayed plan gate.
- If there are no results, clear the search or select **All**.
- If a Skill remains unchanged, it may be a fixed System Skill.
