Workspace tour

Every panel in the workspace, what it does, and when to reach for it.

Top bar

From left to right:

  • KrowForge brand — back to the home grid.
  • Project breadcrumb — current workspace name.
  • Status dot + text — overall health (idle, working, error).
  • Open folder — switch to a different workspace.
  • Commands — command palette (⌘⇧P / Ctrl+Shift+P). Searchable list of every action.
  • Refresh — re-scan the project from disk (after external changes).
  • Tier-3 chips — Ask code, Browser, What's new, Docs (this site).
  • Theme toggle — dark / light.
  • Account — settings & billing.

Activity rail (far left)

The vertical tab strip. Each tab swaps the contents of the right panel.

TabWhat it shows

Sidebar (left of editor)

  • Find files — fast filename + content search across the project.
  • Project files — the file tree. Right-click any item for context actions (new file, rename, delete, copy path).

Editor (centre)

Monaco. Same engine as VS Code. See the Editor docs for the features that aren't obvious.

Right panel

Whichever tab the activity rail is on. Most-used:

  • Ask — chat with the agent. Type, send, watch it stream. When the agent proposes a change, the response includes a banner that links to the Changes panel.
  • Changes — review proposed diffs. Each file is a card with hunks; each hunk has Accept / Reject / Comment.
  • Run — the PTY terminal. Multi-tab via the + button. Tabs persist across reload.
