FAQPage Schema
How do I create a standardized folder structure for a new discovery pipeline?▼

To create a standardized discovery pipeline folder structure, provide an idea name and a location. The system generates a discovery directory with separate input and output folders to organize your project materials.

What is the best way to organize input materials before running a discovery workflow?▼

Organizing input materials for a discovery workflow involves dropping reference files into a structured input directory. The system auto-generates an input/prompt.md template so you can easily add and edit idea context.

How do I set up a prompt template for an idea management pipeline?▼

To set up a prompt template for an idea management pipeline, generate a discovery folder structure. The system automatically creates a ready-to-edit input/prompt.md file in the discovery/input directory for your idea context.

Do I need any dependencies to automate discovery folder creation?▼

No dependencies are required to automate discovery folder creation. The system operates independently to specify directory creation rules and generate the standardized input and output paths for your idea.

Can I choose a custom storage location for my discovery project directories?▼

Yes, you can choose a custom storage location for your discovery project directories. The system prompts you for a location and then creates the standardized discovery/{name}/ folder structure at that path.

What are the limitations of automating idea folder structures with this approach?▼

A limitation of automating idea folder structures here is the fixed naming convention. The system only creates directories at location/discovery/{name}/ and generates a specific input/prompt.md file without alternative templates.
