Spaces: Coding Agents
Hand off chats to your agents
Use Spaces when you want a coding agent on your Mac to take over work you planned in this conversation, or to check on agents that are already running. Say "hand this off to Codex," "start this on my Mac," or "kick this off on a separate branch." Spaces creates a fresh workspace on its own git branch in your project, starts the coding agent you choose, and gives it a brief written from this conversation, so you never write a handoff prompt yourself. It works with Codex and the other terminal coding agents you have installed. Later, ask "what are my coding agents doing?" or "is anything stuck?" for a status roll-up across your Mac and paired machines, with blocked agents first and their exact questions quoted. Say "unblock my agents" to clear routine startup prompts; real decisions always come back to you. Not for writing or explaining code in the chat itself. Spaces runs agents on your own machines, not in the cloud. Works in the your AI desktop app (Work mode) and Codex on a Mac with macOS 14 or later. Requires the Spaces app (usespaces.dev); if it is not installed, the plugin walks you through installing and connecting it, asking before each change.
