Prompt Queue

Line up several prompts while an agent is still working. Otty holds them in a queue and feeds the next one the moment the current turn finishes — no need to babysit the session.

Prompt Queue

Queueing a prompt

Press ⌘⇧M to open the queue input bar at the bottom of the focused pane. Type a command and press to add it; repeat to stack as many as you like. Each one dispatches automatically at the next idle prompt — in order, as the previous command finishes.

You can also queue from the Composer: open it with ⌘⇧E, type your draft, and press ⌥⌘↩ to enqueue it instead of sending. Plain ⌘↩ sends and runs the draft immediately; ⌥⌘↩ always enqueues.

Managing the queue

The queue strip sits just above the composer when one or more prompts are pending:

ActionHow
ReorderDrag a chip to move the focused one
EditClick a chip to load it back into the composer
RemoveClick its ✕

Use in normal terminal view

Shell has built-in ways to chain commands, like build.sh && release.sh.

But if you forgot to input all command chains at once, you can use this queue feature to append a new command after the previous command ends.
