What's in the Specs Panel

The panel surfaces three types of content:

  • System prompts – the Prompts/ folder ships with every project. These define how the AI behaves, covering coding conventions, design tokens, component structure, routing patterns, and more.
  • Spec documents – any markdown files you create to describe what you're building: feature specs, design direction, technical constraints, or a project README.
  • Content files – markdown files that are part of the project itself, like individual blog posts, help articles, or landing page copy.

Editing Specs

Click a spec file to open it as a tab in the center area. The editor is a WYSIWYG markdown editor with a formatting toolbar:

  • Format dropdown – switch between Paragraph, Heading 1, Heading 2, Heading 3
  • Text formatting – Bold, Italic, Underline, Strikethrough, Inline Code
  • Blocks – Code Block, Bullet List, Numbered List
