Home: what just happened
The Home tab is the first thing you see when you open a repository, and it answers one question: what has everyone — human and AI — been doing here lately? It's a readable activity overview, built for catching up after a few hours away (or a few minutes, if your agents are busy).
Open it from the view switcher in the repo toolbar: Home · Map · Stats · Editor.
What's Happening
The left column shows one card per contributor: their most recent piece of work, newest first. Each card shows when it happened, the title of the prompt or goal it belongs to, who did it (with their avatar), and an icon for the AI agent involved, if one was. The small colored dot next to the title matches that goal's color on the Map, so you can recognize the same work in both places.
Two things you can do from a card:
- See Details expands the card to show the full prompt text and chips for the files it changed (up to five). Files with added lines have an arrow button that opens them in the Editor as a read-only diff — exactly what that prompt changed, highlighted in place.
- The arrow in the title row jumps to that goal on the Map, with the right prompt and step selected, so you can keep drilling into history from there.
A card represents a whole prompt, so its file list adds up the changes from every step committed under that prompt — if the same file was touched twice, you see one chip with the combined line counts.
The right panel
The top card is the repository itself: its name, visibility badge, description, the full set of contributors (hover an avatar for the name), and the AI agents that have authored work here.
Below it, Recent Activity is a fast-scrolling feed of the latest prompts across all goals — who ran them, when, and a snippet of what they asked for. Click any entry to open it on the Map.
You can drag the divider between the two columns to resize the panel.
Prompts that are still settling
When you (or a teammate) submit a prompt to an agent, a placeholder card with a shimmering "Prompting" label appears at the top of Recent Activity right away — that's work Merget has captured but the processing service hasn't grouped into the history yet (see How Merget works). It stays visible while the agent works and is replaced by the real entry once the prompt lands.
If the GIF above doesn't load: the placeholder shows your avatar, the agent's icon, and the prompt text with an animated "Prompting" label; when the work is committed, it becomes a normal clickable activity entry.
Under the hood
Everything on Home is derived from the committed history: prompts and steps carry timestamps and contributor identity, and each card surfaces the newest of them. Grouping is asynchronous — the committing daemon captures events immediately, but organizing them into Goal → Prompt → Step happens shortly afterwards and can be revised later (a prompt may be re-titled or re-grouped under a different goal as more context arrives). So Home can lag live work by seconds to a couple of minutes, and an entry you saw earlier may look slightly different on your next visit. Details in How Merget works.
