Work-up in the column

What it does

Diagnostic work-ups can be conducted interactively inside the Agent D column. Typing /workup (or tapping the Start work-up chip) opens interactive step cards (red flags, history, physical examination, diagnostic tests) directly in the sidebar dock. Typing /compact toggles compact density mode to fit more clinical findings on screen.

Also on this screen

  • Folded work-up answer (AD-048): A long clinical answer can fold open.
  • Start work-up chip (AD-066): When the words look like a case, a chip starts the step cards in this column.
  • Work-up dock (AD-067): The step cards sit in the Agent D column.
  • Work-up done hand-back (AD-068): When the cards finish, Agent D is asked to name one idea and one ticked finding. It must not send or bill.
  • /workup (AD-094): Starts the step cards in this column.
  • /compact (AD-095): Switches short or full findings in the work-up.
  • Agent D differential (AD-125): A shadow mode writes a differential beside the old one. The drawer you see is still the old one.
  • Full work-up writer and treatment planner actions (R025): Two Agent D actions: stream a full work-up, and run the treatment planner.

When to use it

Use Work-up when evaluating complex, ambiguous, or multi-system clinical presentations that benefit from structured diagnostic support.

Step by step

  1. Type /workup and stop. Type /workup and stop.
  2. Type /compact and stop. Type /compact and stop.

What Agent D can do

Agent D guides you through clinical decision steps, highlights red flag symptoms, and suggests differential possibilities. It cannot order tests or bill without confirmation.

Safety (what needs your Confirm)

Work-up cards suggest clinical possibilities and investigations. When the work-up finishes, Agent D presents findings for doctor review; it never submits orders or bills automatically.

Common questions

What does /compact do?

Typing /compact toggles compact finding labels on or off, allowing you to view more clinical items without excessive scrolling.

Can I fold long work-up answers?

Yes. Detailed clinical explanations and differential reasoning cards can be collapsed or expanded as needed.

Does the work-up replace my clinical judgement?

No. Diagnostic work-ups provide structured guidance based on clinical guidelines; the treating doctor makes all final diagnostic decisions.
