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.
| Tab | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Start | Project overview, recent files, quick actions. |
| Map | Project architecture diagram. |
| Issues | Lint / type / test failures. |
| Ask | Agent chat. |
| Draft | Plan-before-code scratchpad. |
| Changes | Hunk-by-hunk diff review for proposed agent edits. |
| Run | The integrated terminal. |
Hidden until promoted: Visual, Vault, Budget, Collab, Routes, Publish, Admin.
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.
Where the not-obvious features live
| Feature | How to reach it |
|---|---|
| Ask the codebase | Ctrl+Shift+K or Ask code chip in top bar |
| Browser allowlist | Ctrl+Shift+B or Browser chip in top bar |
| Notebook UI | Click any .ipynb in the file tree |
| What's new toast | First load (auto), or What's new chip |
| Settings panel | Account icon → Settings tab |
The chip row is the answer to "I can't find X." Anything that doesn't have its own panel has a chip.
