Composer and Controls
The composer is the control center for prompts, mode behavior, and generation flow.
Interaction modes
Section titled “Interaction modes”Interaction modes define the scope and behavior of the AI assistant.
- CODE: structured coding workflow with clarification controls configured in Settings.
- QUERY / DATA: execution-oriented workflows for retrieval, analysis, and controlled data operations.
- ASK: conversational mode, with optional web search and optional Debug (analysis on your context badges, with an optional coding-plan path).
Send and stop
Section titled “Send and stop”- Enter sends the prompt.
- Shift + Enter inserts a newline.
- Stop appears during generation and cancels the current response.
QUERY selectors
Section titled “QUERY selectors”
- Format: Table, Chart, or Raw.
- Chart Type: Bar, Line, Pie, or Doughnut when Chart is selected.
Composer autocomplete
Section titled “Composer autocomplete”Autocomplete helps you reference known context faster directly from the prompt composer.
- Use arrow keys to navigate suggestions.
- Press
Tabto accept the highlighted suggestion. - If
#returns no suggestions, refresh metadata first in the Metadata Explorer.
/ references for script steps and functions
Section titled “/ references for script steps and functions”- Type
/to insert known script steps and function-style references quickly. - Best when you want precise step names in CODE or QUERY prompts.
# references for metadata
Section titled “# references for metadata”- Type
#to reference metadata items such as tables, fields, layouts, scripts, and custom functions. - Best when you want schema-aware prompts without manually typing long identifiers.
Context badges
Section titled “Context badges”
- Live context badge: Represents the current Script Workspace selection or script captured with Add Selection.
- Attached script badges: Represent scripts attached with Add Scripts.
- Click a badge: Opens a read-only viewer showing the captured text from FileMaker.
- Remove a badge: Click
xon an attached script badge to detach that context item. - Badge labels: Live context shows the active script and line focus; attached scripts stay separate so multi-script work does not collapse into one badge.
Toggle controls
Section titled “Toggle controls”- Web Search: enables internet-backed fetching when a turn needs up-to-date information (when the current mode supports it).
- Debug (bug icon): appears only in ASK. When on, Genie runs deeper analysis over your context badges and can move toward a coding plan; when off, ASK stays lighter for general questions. Hover the control for the same wording the app shows.
Provider and mode constraints
Section titled “Provider and mode constraints”- The Debug toggle appears only in ASK.
