Tabs let you open multiple chat sessions while staying in the same project directory. This is the lightest-weight way to do concurrent work in Firebender. Chat tabs example

When to use Tabs

  • Quick, unrelated changes: Two or more small tasks in different files that are unlikely to conflict
  • Read-only exploration: Ask one tab to search, summarize, or trace code while you implement in another
  • Short feedback loops: Iterate on a doc, config, or UI detail while another tab does small follow-ups

What Tabs are not

  • Not isolated: Tabs share the same working directory and git state
  • Not safe for conflicting edits: Two tabs editing the same files can create merge pain
If you need isolation for features or PRs, use Background agents instead.
