Select text, headings, or paragraphs from the read-only Spec when you want Castaly to discuss or change a specific requirement.
Add Context to Chat
When a request depends on a specific part of the Project, attach that part to Chat instead of describing it from memory. Context helps Castaly understand exactly what you mean.
Context does not send on its own. It lands in the composer so you can add your intent, check the reference, and press Send when ready.
What you can attach
Section titled “What you can attach”Inspect a real element in the running Preview when feedback depends on something you can see on the page.
Add the actual request in Chat. The attached context says where to look; your message says what should happen.
Add context from the Spec
Section titled “Add context from the Spec”The Spec is read-only, so you never edit Markdown directly. Instead, attach the part you want Castaly to consider.
Select in the Spec
Open the Spec tab and select the text, heading, or paragraph you want to talk about.
Use Ask Castaly
A light Ask Castaly action appears near your selection. It carries the file and line numbers — for example
spec/pages/user-management.md:42-56— back into the Chat composer as context.Add your intent and send
The reference lands above the composer but is not sent. Add what you want Castaly to do, then press Send.
Add context from the Preview
Section titled “Add context from the Preview”Once a Preview is available, you can attach feedback to a real on-screen element.
Turn on Inspect
In the Preview tab, click Inspect, then click the element you want to give feedback on.
Add a note
A draft appears near the element. Write what you want changed — a note is required — and add it.
Send when ready
Your feedback drops into the Chat composer as a chip, summarizing the element and your note. It goes to Castaly only after you send the message.
What happens after you send
Section titled “What happens after you send”Castaly handles a message with attached context like any other Project request, but with a more precise reference.
Castaly reads the context
It uses the attached Spec selection or Preview element to understand which part of the Project you mean.
It combines context with your instruction
The context identifies the target. Your message defines the requested change, question, or feedback.
It clarifies if needed
If the request still depends on a decision, Castaly asks before changing the Project definition.
It prepares the next action
Castaly may update the Spec and Graph, explain the issue, or prepare work for the next Build depending on what you asked.
Keep the work inside the Project you are shaping. Context attached from the Spec or Preview always points back to that same Project, so Castaly stays aligned with its Spec, Preview, and publish state.
