[Feature Request] Add per-repository "New Conversation" button in Agents FleetView panel
Bug Description
Subject: Agents / FleetView panel — can't discover how to start a new conversation in a specific repo
I'm an advanced Claude Code user and I want to give honest feedback: the Agents view (FleetView) is, right now, not useful to me — and I don't think I'm the only one.
The core problem:
The panel groups my conversations per repository, which looks great. But I cannot figure out how to start a new conversation scoped to a specific repo. The per-repo groups look like containers I should be able to click into and add to — but they're not actionable. The only way I've found is to create an agent globally and then pick the repo in a dialog. That's backwards from what the grouped layout implies.
Why it's frustrating:
- The mental model the UI suggests (repos are containers → click "+" inside a repo) does not match how it actually works (create globally → assign repo).
- For someone who lives in multiple repos daily, this is the single most common action I want to take, and it's the hardest one to discover.
- The result is that a view that should be my home base feels unusable.
What would fix it:
- Put a clear "+ New conversation" button on each repo group that pre-selects that repo.
- Make the repo groups behave like the containers they visually appear to be.
- Make sure connected repos are obviously selectable, and make it obvious how to add one that isn't there yet.
Please revisit this view's UX/UI. The concept is right and I want to use it — but the current execution gets in the way instead of helping. Happy to do a quick call or screen-share if useful.
