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.md and .txt open in the in-app note modal in read-only mode; .pdf opens in the existing PDF viewer modal. Any other extension hides this button.
  • open — opens the file via the user's open_with.main_ide slot (configured in .condash/settings.json, or the legacy condash.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.
