Locate current canvas controls, use comments, Draw and sticky notes correctly, and inspect or fork the exact built-in prompts that drive model nodes.
Where: Flowgen left rail and canvas top bar.
Key ideas
- Tools and preferences are separated: Comments, Draw, sticky notes, Add, Assets, Flows, and Prompt Library begin on the left; Card mode, snap, completion sound, and selection-driven settings live in the canvas top controls.
- Dialogs are not tabs: Flows and Prompt Library open dialogs without becoming an active rail panel. Draw is a canvas mode and restores the previous rail tab when it closes.
- Built-in and per-node prompts answer different questions: Prompt Library inventories app doctrine; a node System Prompt viewer shows what that specific node will send.
Steps
- Open Add or press Tab for nodes; open Assets for project media.
- Use Flows to start from a ready-made flow and Prompt Library to browse every doctrine the app runs on.
- Select Card mode or Node graph according to whether outcome cards or explicit wiring should lead.
- Toggle snap alignment, completion sound, and Open node settings on selection from the current top controls.
- Choose Draw for freehand canvas annotation; leave Draw to return to the previous rail tab.
- Add a sticky note for canvas-local context or Comments for threaded collaboration.
- In Prompt Library, expand groups in registry order, choose a variant, and copy the resolved prompt text.
- Select prompts across groups and choose Fork to canvas to create editable copies connected through a Context node.
- Connect the resulting Context node to the model-driven nodes that should receive the customized doctrine.
Prompt Library behavior
- It lazy-loads on first open and resolves one opened prompt at a time, memoizing prompt and variant.
- Viewers can browse and copy; editing permission is required to fork.
- A selected legacy prompt warns when it is not reachable from a live path.
- Groups containing only dead legacy prompts begin collapsed.
Skills filters
- Search includes id, label, description, and trigger phrases.
- Live only and Group, Family, Surface, Kind, and Rendition filters can be combined.
- Press / outside a field to focus search; press Escape in a populated search to clear it.
- Skill entries expose package metadata, references, and renditions before they are forked to the canvas.
Tips
- Turn off Open node settings on selection during spatial rearrangement and back on during property-heavy setup.
- Use a comment for a discussion and a sticky note for unthreaded canvas context.
Limitations and important notes
- Forking does not globally replace product doctrine; it creates editable canvas context.
- Card mode hides some connection detail but does not remove wires.
Troubleshooting
A rail icon never looks selected.
Flows and Prompt Library are dialog launchers, not persistent rail tabs.
