Your workspace: conversation, data and results
The conversation explains the work. The right-hand area lets you inspect its files, ongoing operations, context, and results without leaving the conversation. Start with the compact Data and Work summaries, then open full details when you need more room.
The compact summaries
Section titled “The compact summaries”| Summary | Use it to find |
|---|---|
| Data | Context usage, connected sources, files, changes, and outputs associated with the conversation. |
| Work | Open questions, child agents, tool calls, background tasks, and current todos where available. Open the full Work view for the work inventory and long-running controls. |
Expand a section to inspect its items. Tool calls start collapsed. Your section choices are remembered for the conversation, so reopening the summary restores the sections you chose. Pending and in-progress todos stay visible; Show completed opens their history.
Use Open full details to inspect the conversation’s evidence in a larger panel, or Open Work view for the full work inventory. Opening a larger panel can temporarily make room by hiding the compact column. Closing it restores the previous column layout and disclosure choices.
The full detail views
Section titled “The full detail views”The Observability tab contains four views:
| View | The question it helps answer |
|---|---|
| Evidence | What operations, sources, files, changes, and outputs were recorded? |
| Timeline | In what order did operations and interactions happen? |
| Gantt | Which operations overlapped, and how long did recorded work take? |
| Context | What context and files are available to the selected agent, and how much of its context window is used? |
These are views of recorded work. Missing timing or context information is not proof that no work occurred; some connected services provide less detail.
Open a file or artifact to read it in its own tab. Where available, Lineage shows declared input and output relationships. See Check answers and sources for the difference between a recorded relationship and a verified conclusion.
Work is a separate tab
Section titled “Work is a separate tab”The full Work tab holds the work inventory: open questions, todos, goals, loops, and schedules. Use it to answer a question, inspect limits, stop active controls, or review previous work. It is separate from the Gantt timing view.
For background task status and child agents, start with the compact Work summary or Evidence. Open a child’s conversation to inspect its assignment and returned work. “Turn ended” tells you the child stopped; its result tells you what it accomplished.
Other tabs open from what you select
Section titled “Other tabs open from what you select”Files, reports, dashboards, source browsers, changes, child conversations, and terminals can open as separate tabs when you select the corresponding item. The available tabs depend on the workspace and the connected service.
Selecting a file opens a preview; it does not by itself attach that file to a new message. Use attachments or references to give CLIO file context. Reading a tool result or switching detail views does not start a new agent operation.
