When you want an agent to look at another card on the board, you do not have to describe where it is: you can **point** at the card inside the very text you are writing.

## How it works

1. Type **`>`** at the start of a line.
2. The card list appears, with each one's name, assistant and type.
3. Keep typing to filter. The list shows at most **eight** options; when there are more, it tells you how many were left out.
4. Choose with the keyboard or by clicking.

The trigger is `>` **at the start of a line** — mid-sentence it is just the `>` character. Whatever you typed as a filter is deleted along with the `>`, and the mention takes its place.

## Where it works

| Where | What happens when you choose |
|---|---|
| **Conversation card composer** | The mention text is inserted into what you are writing, preserving the cursor position. |
| **Terminal card** | The mention is **pasted into the terminal**, as if you had typed it. The `>` and the filter are deleted. |

## Keyboard

- **Tab** and the **arrow keys** navigate the list.
- **Enter** chooses the highlighted option.
- **Esc** closes the list without inserting anything.
- **Space** has a role of its own in the list, so it does not get in the way of someone writing.

## Limits

- **In the terminal, the mention depends on the session being alive.** If the terminal is not ready yet, the notice "This terminal is not ready yet. Try again in a moment." appears — wait and repeat instead of insisting.
- **The list is limited to eight options.** If the card you want does not appear, keep typing: the filter is what brings the rest, not scrolling.
- **A mention is text, not a link.** It puts the card's name into what you wrote; it does not create a line on the board and does not notify the other card.
- **No command-line equivalent:** mentioning is an action of whoever is writing on screen.
