TL;DR

  • Announced April 14, 2026: Universal Agent Support brings Warp workflow features to agent-heavy terminal development
  • CLI compatibility: Works with Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, and OpenCode
  • Vertical tabs: Group concurrent agent sessions; annotate with git branch, worktrees, pull-requests metadata
  • Tab Configs: Repeatable setups bundling directory, startup commands, theme, worktree management
  • Notifications + code review: Unified notification center; inline comments sent directly to running agent sessions
  • Context + remote access: Attach code/files/snippets/images; publish sessions to the cloud for remote monitoring/collaboration

Warp’s “Universal Agent Support” is a new set of features aimed at making a modern, agent-heavy workflow feel less like herding cats inside a traditional terminal. Announced April 14, 2026, the update is positioned around a straightforward idea: the terminal is already where many CLI coding agents run, but day-to-day “agentic” development tends to break down when sessions multiply and context gets scattered.

Warp’s approach is to bring some of the conveniences it’s built for its own agent workflows—session management, richer interaction, review loops—into a more general toolkit that works with popular coding agent CLIs, including Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, and OpenCode.

A terminal UI that treats agents like first-class sessions

A big chunk of the announcement focuses on making concurrent agent work visible and organized.

Vertical tabs

Warp now supports vertical tabs designed for grouping multiple agent sessions. These tabs can be annotated with metadata such as git branch, worktrees, and pull-requests, giving a more “workbench” feel than a pile of indistinguishable terminal windows.

Tab Configs

Alongside that is Tab Configs, described as a revamped tab-level schema for repeatable setups. A config can bundle items like directory, startup commands, theme, and worktree management, enabling a consistent launch pattern for common agent tasks.

Better loops for attention and feedback

Agent workflows often stall not because the model is slow, but because it’s unclear when human input is needed—or how to deliver it efficiently.

Notifications

Warp now “pipes through” agent notifications both in-app and via system notifications, plus a unified notification center intended to aggregate alerts across different agents and harnesses.

Code review

Another notable addition is native code review: Warp can send inline comments directly from its code review UI to a running third-party agent session, tightening the distance between “spot an issue” and “tell the agent what to change.”

Context sharing without copy/paste friction

Warp also leans into reducing the common terminal-agent tax of shuttling context around manually.

Attach code as context

The update adds the ability to select code, files, or snippets and attach them to an active agent session without switching tools or copy-pasting.

Rich input

Warp’s rich terminal input is now positioned as a general front-end for complex agent prompts: multiline prompts, mouse-based editing, cut/copy/paste, and voice input. It also includes access to saved /prompts, /skills “in scope,” and @context from the editor. The rich input surface also supports attaching images as context, opening a file explorer, and viewing code changes via an agent toolbar.

Remote control for long-running sessions

Finally, Warp is adding a way to publish a CLI coding agent session to the cloud for access from another computer or a phone. The emphasis is on monitoring progress and steering a session remotely, including collaboration scenarios where teammates can access the published session.
