Chat
Agent chat is the main interface for design-aware coding in Velork. It sees your canvas selection, open files, and task context — so you describe outcomes, not file paths.
Open chat
Click the chat icon in the right auxiliary bar, or press Cmd + L to focus the input.
Start a fresh session with Cmd + T. Close the current session with Cmd + W (archives it). Cycle sessions with Cmd + Shift + [ and ].
Write effective prompts
Lead with the outcome, then constraints:
Implement the selected canvas frame as a React + Tailwind page section.
Reuse components from components/ui/ where possible. Run typecheck when done.
For exploration without edits:
Explain how authentication flows through this repo. Point me to the three files I should read first.
For safe first changes:
Suggest three small, safe improvements in this codebase. Explain tradeoffs and wait for me to pick one.
Use canvas context
Select a frame before asking for UI work. Agent reads the design tree — layer names, spacing, and typography — alongside your code.
If nothing is selected, say which frame or file you mean explicitly.
Blueprints
Pick a blueprint from the chat input to apply a saved prompt template — for example scaffolding from a frame or running a standard test pass.
Create and manage blueprints according to your plan limits. See Plans and usage.
Model and toggles
| Control | Shortcut | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Model selector | Cmd + / | Switch models mid-session |
| Thinking mode | Cmd + Shift + T | More reasoning before acting |
| Autonomous mode | Cmd + Shift + A | Fewer confirmation prompts |
| Computer use | Cmd + Shift + U | UI automation when available |
Default models per mode are configured under Settings → Models.
Review before accepting
Treat Agent output like a senior teammate's PR — review every diff. Ask it to run the same checks you would locally:
Run the project linter and fix any issues you introduced.
