Guides

Each guide answers one specific question.

Setup

• Configure the conception path — change the folder condash renders, with the menu, the CLI, or by editing settings.json.
• Repositories and open-with launchers — the workspace and worktrees paths, the repositories list, and the IDE/terminal launch slots behind the Code pane.
• The Settings modal — one scrolling modal, two files with disjoint schemas, and which setting lives where.
• Applications and handles — identify each app by one canonical #handle, manage the registry, keep apps: references resolving.
• Auto-commit — let condash be the single writer for a versioned conception: commit settled changes on a timer and push.

The panes

The activity rail has three separated groups: Projects, the four working panes (Code, Knowledge, Resources, Skills), and Terminal. Clicking an active button hides its pane; clicking an inactive working button selects it without changing Projects visibility. Hidden state persists across restarts, including empty and terminal-only layouts. The View menu shows working panes without toggling them and retains the Terminal toggle. Automations, Logs, and Diagnostics remain labelled top-bar full-window overlays, not rail or native View routes.

• The Projects pane — the status stack, changing status, creating items, closing and reopening.
• The Code pane — what the repo cards, branch rows, and worktrees mean.
• Automations (tasks) — save reusable, parameterized agent prompts, fill their {markers} in a form, and run them with one click.
• The knowledge tree — durable reference material as cards, with freshness stamps.
• The Resources pane — every file under resources/ as a card with view / open / copy / paste-to-term actions.
• The Skills pane — browse the markdown skills condash ships under .agents/skills/, with shipped/diverged chips.
• The Logs pane — saved session transcripts by day, a virtualised viewer with search, and the task-run store.
• Retired Deliverables pane — historical description of the removed aggregate; item-level deliverables remain available from project previews.
• Terminal diagnostics — per-tab memory, growth rate, and throttle state, plus main-process event-loop delay.

Daily

• Use the embedded terminal — toggle, dock, prefer your shell, screenshot paste, session logging.
• The Dashboard — turn a wall of terminal tabs into a card each: what it's doing and which one is waiting on you.
• Agent CLIs and model providers — pair any agent CLI with any model provider via wrapper scripts, and register each as a launcher.
• Search — full-text across every README, note, knowledge file, resource, and skill. Read the ranking; read the snippets.
• Link items with wikilinks — [[other-item]] resolves across the tree.
• Deliverables and PDFs — the ## Deliverables syntax, the in-app viewers, and Export as PDF.
• Visual notes (plans, reviews, designs) — .mdx documents of typed blocks, and condash mdx check.
• Troubleshooting — Wayland blur, dirty caches, killed tabs, app won't launch.

Extending

• Management skills — the five shipped skills as slash commands: which one to pick for a task, and what each wraps in the CLI.
• Extend the management skills — fork or wrap the five shipped skills without losing upstream updates.
• Dev launch — run condash from a clone with hot reload, and the test targets that guard it.
