You can control how Magica approaches work before, during, and after a task.

Before execution

Use Plan mode when you want to review the approach before anything is generated. Press Shift+Tab in the message box to turn it on. An amber Plan badge shows while it is on. Select the badge or press Shift+Tab again to turn it off. In Plan mode, Magica may research first, then proposes a plan with an estimated credit total. Nothing runs until you choose:
  • Run All runs the whole plan.
  • Step by Step pauses after each step so you can review it before the next one.
  • Request Changes lets you tell Magica what to change in the plan.
For sensitive work, state the boundary directly. For example:
  • “Draft the emails, but do not send them.”
  • “Prepare the purchase details, but ask before placing the order.”
  • “Do not publish or delete anything.”

During execution

Use Stop generation to interrupt the agent. You can then clarify the request, reduce the scope, or start again. If Magica requests a decision, file, login, or confirmation, review the request before continuing.

After a response

  • Use Fork chat on an assistant response to try a different direction while preserving the original task.
  • Use Duplicate from the task menu to copy the full conversation.
  • Use the thumbs-up (Good response) or thumbs-down (Bad response) buttons to give feedback on a response.
  • Use Pin to top, Rename, Add to project (or Change project), Schedule, or Delete from the task’s ⋯ menu.
To revise an earlier direction without losing the original, use Fork chat or Duplicate. Messages that are still queued and not yet sent can be changed with Edit message.
