Commands

These are the user-facing commands the extension contributes to VS Code. Run them from the Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P / Cmd+Shift+P) unless the table says they live in a menu.

Dashboard and execution

Command	What it does
ctrlyoke: Open ctrlyoke Panel	Open the dashboard
ctrlyoke: Run	Run the workflow loaded in the dashboard
ctrlyoke: Pause Execution	Pause the current run
ctrlyoke: Resume Execution	Resume a paused run
ctrlyoke: Stop Execution	Stop the current run
ctrlyoke: Resume Session	Pick a previous run's harness session and resume it
ctrlyoke: Search ctrlyoke History	Open the dashboard's run-history search
ctrlyoke: Show Output Panel	Show the ctrlyoke log in VS Code's Output panel

Workflow authoring

Command	What it does	Shortcut (dashboard focused)
ctrlyoke: New Workflow from Template	Open the template picker	Ctrl+Shift+T / Cmd+Shift+T
ctrlyoke: New Blank Workflow	Clear the current workflow and start fresh	Ctrl+Shift+N / Cmd+Shift+N
ctrlyoke: Create New Custom Template	Open the template picker's create-template form
ctrlyoke: Select Prompt File	Pick a workflow or prompt file in the workspace and load it	Ctrl+Shift+L / Cmd+Shift+L
ctrlyoke: Queue Prompt File	Pick a workflow or prompt file and append its steps to the queue	Ctrl+Shift+Q / Cmd+Shift+Q

The keyboard shortcuts apply only while the ctrlyoke dashboard view has focus.

The prompt editor's convert button writes a step prompt to a file under .ctrlyoke/prompts/ and replaces the inline prompt with a reference to it. Script templates for end conditions are created from the condition editor in the dashboard, not from a command.

Save As

Save As writes a durable workflow definition at the destination you choose. It copies inline @, #selection:, and #sym references that point into generated attachments or prompt stores into a sibling <workflow>.assets/ directory, rewriting those references to the exported paths. It inlines lone step prompt values that resolve to generated prompt files, including empty files. Ordinary repository references remain unchanged. The exported pair — the workflow file and its sibling <workflow>.assets/ directory — can be moved or copied to another directory or repository and still resolve, provided they travel together. The pair carries generated dependencies, not the repository it operates on: @src/foo.ts, committed prompt files, and .ctrlyoke/scripts/** references remain dependencies of the surrounding repository by design.

Run with ctrlyoke submenu

Right-click a .ctrlyoke.yaml, .ctrlyoke.yml, .ctrlyoke.json, or .prompt.md file in the Explorer or on its editor tab, or use the play-icon Run with ctrlyoke menu in the editor title bar:

Menu item	What it does
Run with ctrlyoke	Save the file if needed, load it, and run it
Load in ctrlyoke	Load the file into the dashboard without running it
Queue Steps with ctrlyoke	Append the file's steps to the end of the active queue
Queue Steps Next with ctrlyoke	Insert the file's steps after the current step

Queue Steps and Queue Steps Next are hidden until the active queue already contains at least one step. These items are menu-only and do not appear in the Command Palette.

Adding context to the prompt editor

These menu items insert a reference into the dashboard's prompt editor. They are menu-only.

Menu item	Where it appears
Add File to ctrlyoke	Explorer file context menu, editor tab context menu, Source Control changed files
Add Directory to ctrlyoke	Explorer folder context menu
Add Selection to ctrlyoke	Editor and line-number context menus when text is selected
Add Symbol to ctrlyoke	Editor and line-number context menus when nothing is selected
Add Output Selection to ctrlyoke	Output panel context menu when text is selected
Add Output Channel to ctrlyoke	Output panel context menu when no text is selected
Add Commit to ctrlyoke	Timeline view context menu on a Git commit

Source Control

Command	What it does
ctrlyoke: Generate Commit Message with ctrlyoke	Generate a commit message into the Source Control input box; text already in the box guides the message. Also a button in the Source Control title bar for Git repositories
ctrlyoke: Cancel Commit Message Generation	Cancel a generation in progress (replaces the generate button while it runs)

Workspace, worktrees, and usage

Command	What it does
ctrlyoke: Initialize Workspace	Create or repair .ctrlyoke/ and its generated .gitignore
ctrlyoke: Show Getting Started	Reopen the Getting Started walkthrough
ctrlyoke: Install CLI for Use Outside VS Code	Open a terminal with the matching npm install -g ctrlyoke@<version> typed in, not run
