🙌🏻 Thanks so much for putting this pull request together @zimeg! 🙇🏻

📝 I've left some early feedback and questions that we'll want to work through. Let me know what you think!

mwbrooks · 2026-04-09T04:06:35Z

 "slack-cli#ai-apps/support-agent": {
 {
- Title: fmt.Sprintf("Claude Agent SDK %s", style.Secondary("Bolt for Python")),
+ Title: fmt.Sprintf("Bolt for JavaScript %s", style.Secondary("Node.js")),


question: We originally brainstormed having the Secondary display the breadcrumb of the previous selection. I'm just curious why you decided to not include that?

@mwbrooks Forgive this was omitted until comments below and e82f2a9! 🙏 ✨

@zimeg Thanks, this is much better! 🙇🏻

mwbrooks · 2026-04-09T04:08:27Z

+	adapterPromptObjects := map[string][]promptObject{
+ "slack-cli#ai-apps/support-agent/bolt-js": {
+ {
+ Title: "Claude Agent SDK",


question: Why don't these have any Secondary text? To me, it feels a little off that these offer no hints or additional descriptions.

@mwbrooks I hesitated on the right wording but found that a reminder of past selections might be useful to @srtaalej points with e82f2a9?

@zimeg This is looking better! I might have a few suggestions around wording but I'll keep looking on the PR first! 🔍

srtaalej

thank you for making these changes 💟 !
this is working great but i think language/ ui improvements can be made 🤔
my main concern is that after the template is selected the flow is the exact same - there arent any indicators of what selection was made. it'd be nice to use Secondarys for that,,, or perhaps we look into charm features for this?

mwbrooks

@zimeg Thanks for the quick iterations! 🧭

The prompts are looking a lot better.

❓ Question: Do have the ability to customize the Bolt Framework prompt? Right now, the secondary doesn't show the breadcrumb from choosing the Starter Agent and Support Agent (see screenshot). If we don't have the ability because we're reusing the prompt for all templates then that's okay.

zimeg · 2026-04-09T21:33:30Z

@mwbrooks Let's check out 897d858 for possible changes? I updated the demo video in description with the latest 📸

Edit: This was kept consistent to avoid confusion between other create prompts but I understand the agent experience is unique enough to not stress about this right now.

mwbrooks

✅ Woohoo! This is looking very good! Love the recent update and now the breadcrumbs are consistent throughout the create agent prompt journey.
