Learn how to use Warp’s agents to explore and understand large, unfamiliar codebases — using semantic and symbol-level search.

---

## Overview

This walkthrough shows:

* How Warp explains unknown sections of code
* How it combines semantic and keyword searches
* How to use these insights to modify UI components

---

1. #### Prompt

   ```
   Please explain how the agent popup code is structured,
   where it lives in the codebase,
   and how it is rendered and called.
   I want to understand the full data flow and structure
   so I can add a new agent button to it.
   ```

2. #### How Warp’s agent searches

   Warp begins by using **semantic (vectorized) search** to locate relevant files.\
   Once it finds probable matches (e.g., `agent_management_popup.rs`), it switches to **symbolic search** (`grep` and direct code reads).

   Warp intelligently reads large files (splitting them into smaller chunks) to extract relevant definitions and render logic.

3. #### Generated explanation

   Warp returns a full breakdown:

   * File paths where the popup is defined
   * How it’s rendered within the workspace
   * Which actions and UI components trigger it
   * A step-by-step view of data flow through the popup component
