Description

Dupe Check
Describe the solution you'd like?

Warp currently supports several shell $PS1 prompts (starship, spaceship, oh-my-posh, etc.).

Users lose the customized PS1 prompt when Agent Mode is enabled and Warp falls back to the Warp prompt. This feature would allow the users to see the relevant context and information provided by the $PS1 prompt while using Agent mode.

Research direction

The issue identifies Agent Mode and existing PS1 support for starship, spaceship, and oh-my-posh; start by finding the prompt-rendering path used by Agent Mode and comparing it with those integrations. Done means users retain the relevant PS1 context instead of seeing only the Warp prompt while Agent Mode is enabled.
