The Resources pane¶
The Resources pane sits next to Code, Knowledge, and Skills in the right working-surface slot (Ctrl+R to switch in). It browses the file hierarchy under a configurable directory at the conception root and surfaces every file as a small action card.

What it shows¶
By default the pane reads from <conception>/resources/. The directory does not have to exist — when it's missing the pane shows an empty-state with a pointer to the setting.
Every file in the tree is rendered, regardless of extension. Hidden dot-files are skipped. Directories at any depth become their own section, so a deeply-nested layout reads as a flat list of grouped sub-directories.
Each card carries a coloured glyph for its file type:
| Glyph | Categories |
|---|---|
MD |
.md, .markdown |
PDF |
.pdf |
TXT |
Source code, JSON, YAML, plain text |
IMG |
Images |
AUD |
Audio |
VID |
Video |
ZIP |
Archives |
BIN |
Compiled / opaque binaries |
· |
Anything else |
Per-card actions¶
A button row at the bottom of each card exposes:
- view —
.mdand.txtopen in the in-app note modal in read-only mode;.pdfopens in the existing PDF viewer modal. Any other extension hides this button. - open — opens the file via the user's
open_with.main_ideslot (configured in.condash/settings.json, or the legacycondash.json). - copy — copies the absolute path to the system clipboard.
- → term — pastes the absolute path into the focused terminal session (no
↵). If no session is live, the button still pastes once you spawn one.
Clicking the card body itself runs the most-likely action for the file type — view for inline-viewable types, open-in-IDE otherwise.
Configuration¶
The Resources pane reads <conception>/resources/ unconditionally — the directory name is hard-coded and not configurable. To opt out, leave the directory absent; the pane renders an empty state.
