Pastures AI is context-aware — when you open the AI drawer, it reads the current route and surfaces relevant suggested questions for the page you’re on.

​
How it works

When the drawer opens, Pastures captures the current Rancher URL pathname and resolves it to a route name. A mapping in aiContext.ts associates each route with a set of suggested questions tailored to that page’s domain. The suggested questions appear as clickable pills in the empty state of the drawer. Clicking one immediately sends it as a query. 
export interface AIContext {
  pageName: string;
  suggestedQuestions: string[];
}

​
Page-specific suggestions

Each Pastures page maps to a unique set of questions:
  • “Is my cluster ready to upgrade to the latest K3s?”
  • “What failed in the last CIS benchmark scan?”
  • “Which GPU nodes are over 80% utilization?”
  • “How do I fix Longhorn replica degradation?”
  • “What are the critical advisories for this cluster?”
  • “How do I fix the etcd single-member warning?”
  • “What is the health score of this cluster?”
  • “Are there any open issues across my fleet?”
  • “Why is my VM stuck in Starting state?”
  • “How do I restore a VM from snapshot?”
  • “Why is my pod in CrashLoopBackOff?”
  • “How do I debug OOMKilled containers?”
  • “How do I configure a NemoClaw gateway?”
  • “What sandbox policies are available?”
  • “How do I set GPU quotas for a project?”
  • “What are recommended resource limits for staging?”
  • “Who has cluster-admin access?”
  • “How do I create a read-only role for auditors?”

​
Route resolution

The route name is derived from the Rancher URL pathname. Pastures uses the Vue Router route name (e.g., c-cluster-pastures-operations) as the key into the context map. 
export function getAIContext(routeName: string): AIContext | null {
  return CONTEXT_MAP[routeName] ?? null;
}
If the current route doesn’t match any entry in the context map, the drawer falls back to a generic empty state with no suggested questions.
Context awareness works in all modes — Oracle, BYO model, and demo. The suggested questions are determined by the page, not the AI backend.
