# Your first message

The composer is the one box you type into. You don't pick a tool or a mode first — you just describe what you want, and Foxora picks the right agent, skills, and tools to do it.

## Anatomy of the composer

The composer is an auto-growing text box with a small toolbar underneath. Left to right, the toolbar holds:

- Autonomy pill — how much an agent does before asking you (Ask, Accept edits, Auto, Bypass).
- Attach (+) — add files, photos, a folder, or open the slash-command list.
- Mic — speak instead of type, with a caret for device + voice settings.
- Context meter — a ring showing how full the conversation’s context window is.
- Crew & tier chip — which crew and tier (Auto / Pro / Max) runs the turn.

## Sending your first message

- 01Just describe what you wantType a request in plain language — “build me a landing page for a coffee shop” or “why is this test failing?” You don’t need to name a tool; the agent figures out the steps.
- 02Send itPress Enter to send, or click the  send button. Shift+Enter inserts a newline. A message with only an attachment (say, a screenshot) is sendable with no text at all.
- 03Watch it work — or stop itThe reply streams into the transcript above. While a turn is running, the send button becomes a Stop square — click it any time to interrupt. If you type while it’s busy, your next message queues behind the active turn.
