Mention files, folders, and skills

Use @ to select project files or folders and / to select skills. Kora displays them as compact contextual references in both the composer and sent messages.

  1. Type @, then search for a file or folder. Results use different icons and show a relative path to distinguish matching names.
  2. Type /, then search for a skill.
  3. Select the result to add it to the message.

Matching is fuzzy: an abbreviation whose characters occur in the right order can find a non-contiguous name. Folder roots are searched in parallel; local and remote folders use most-specific prefix matching so mentions never cross root boundaries. This helps find a known item; it is not a semantic or file-content search.

For a folder result, press Enter to continue browsing its contents, or Tab to attach that folder as message context. You can also add a folder from its File Explorer context menu.

The composer shows a Tab to browse · Enter to confirm hint above the menu while fuzzy search is open. Paths with spaces are auto-quoted in the message text to avoid tokenization errors.

Select a reference in a sent message:

Reference Result
File Opens and expands the File Explorer to the file, then selects it.
Folder Brings the File Explorer to that folder.
Skill Opens its SKILL.md in Monaco as a preview.

Hover a mention chip to see the full path in a tooltip. Click the chip to restore the mention in the composer and reopen the fuzzy search.

  • The expected result is missing → try a shorter or differently ordered part of its name; the search uses relative names and fuzzy matching.
  • Enter opens a folder instead of adding it → use Tab to attach the folder as context.
  • A skill will not open → confirm its SKILL.md remains available in the configured skill location.
