The command bar
The command bar — the input strip at the bottom of the workspace — is the one place you drive Mastery HQ from: it opens windows, routes tasks to agents by name, arranges layouts, changes themes, reports status, and starts loops. Everything it accepts typed, it accepts spoken; the mic button (or Ctrl+Shift+V) turns dictation on.
How it decides what you meant
Section titled “How it decides what you meant”- Explicit routing wins: send <message> to <window> / tell <agent> to … delivers to that window.
- Workspace commands next: tidy, open browser and go to github, change theme to neon rift, who’s working — the full list.
- Otherwise the text goes to the focused agent window — so mid-conversation you can just keep typing.
A meteor animation always shows which window received a routed message; if nothing matched at all, a toast says so.
Dictation
Section titled “Dictation”- Mic button or
Ctrl+Shift+Vstarts listening; your speech lands in the bar, then routes exactly like typed text. - Stop hands-free with “go to sleep” (also: stop listening, mic off), or press
Esc. - The recognition engine is configurable in Settings → Voice — including a fully offline model. Details: Dictation engines (P2 doc).
The right-hand switch
Section titled “The right-hand switch”The Minimal / Simple / Complete segment next to the bar is layout density — how much chrome is visible. It never changes what commands work.
