kiln, feature by feature

These pages track what kiln does in more detail than the README's tour. One page per surface, kept current as behavior changes — when a PR changes how a feature works, it updates the matching page here.

They're written as Docusaurus-flavored markdown with sidebar_position frontmatter, which kiln's own doc view (⌘3) reads for ordering — so the docs render in-app today and can become a public Docusaurus site later (#116).

Reading order:

  1. The editor — the narration dial, highlighting, and autocomplete
  2. The assistant — Potter, on-device and cloud
  3. The squad — named agents working the project with you
  4. Project surfaces — overview, inbox, config, and the notepad
  5. Terminal and jobs — your real shell, and the project's own tooling
  6. The design system — tokens, the component gallery, and screenshot tests
  7. The workflow spine — how the inbox, plan, agents, and diff thread into one piece of work

Two internal docs live a level up: positioning.md (who kiln is for and the feature lens) and architecture-guidance.md (the codebase shape the squad works best with).
