Grida Desktop Electron shell and release-impact work: BrowserWindow, preload, `window.grida`, menus, protocol/deep links, file associations, Forge, path-scoped bridge security, Electron-only UI bugs, and CDP / Playwright verification. Use for `desktop/`, `editor/app/desktop/**`, `editor/scaffolds/desktop/**`, `editor/lib/desktop/**`, `/desktop/*` CSP, GRIDA-SEC-004, and deciding whether linked-package or hosted-renderer changes require a native Desktop version bump or coordinated release. For implementing daemon/agent-tenant core behavior, use `agent-system` as well.
Author and edit a Grida `.canvas` board — a `.canvas.json` manifest plus document files (references, generated images, notes) placed on an infinite canvas. Use when working on a `.canvas` bundle or arranging visuals/design work spatially. For a linear deck/presentation, use the `slides` skill instead.
Build a Grida slides deck — a `.canvas` bundle in slides mode whose pages are SVG documents (16:9, one SVG per slide). Use when creating a presentation, pitch deck, slideshow, or talk.
Decide which family a doc belongs to before drafting — SDK/developer, user/product, or working-group (WG) — since family sets the audience, home, and tone. Use when creating, moving, or restructuring docs, when unsure which directory a doc belongs in, or when a request says "document this" / "write docs for X" without naming the kind. Routes to the specialized skill for each family.
Doctrine for drafting and keeping working-group docs under `docs/wg/**` — RFC/RFD specs and findings/research/glossary. A WG doc is a language-agnostic, code-agnostic study of a domain: it argues *why* and defines *what*, never *how in our code*. Use when writing or editing anything under `docs/wg/`, an RFC/RFD, a spec, a design note, a glossary, or research findings — including "write up the design", "document the spec", or "capture what we learned". Not for plans/TODOs (untracked `*.plan.md`), user docs, or SDK API refs — use `docs` to route those.
Author and edit `.svg` files in a Grida editor session — live-canvas binding, SVG output style, and parse-error recovery. Use when creating or modifying an SVG document.
Working pattern for Grida Gateway (GG) — Grida's first-party, metered, no-BYOK AI surface: the scoped-token mint, the OpenAI-compatible + native gateway endpoints, the `gg` client provider, and the desktop wiring that spends org credit without a user key. Anchor for the `GRIDA-GG: <surface>` grep marker; its security half is `GRIDA-SEC-006`. Use when adding or touching any GG file, the `gg` provider kind, the `gg:ai` token audience, or deciding whether code belongs to the gateway surface. Companions: `security` (the GRIDA-SEC-006 half), `ee-billing` (the ledger it spends), `agent-system` and `desktop` (the two hosts).
Grida AI agent system work: `@grida/daemon` (DaemonServer, loopback HTTP perimeter, files/workspaces, secrets store, daemon discovery) and `@grida/agent` (the agent tenant: sessions, providers/BYOK, runtime/tool execution, skills discovery, prompts, tiers, sandbox hosts). Use for `packages/grida-daemon/**`, `packages/grida-ai-agent/**`, desktop sidecar protocol changes, agent chat transport, and bugs in agent state or streams. For pure Electron window, preload, menu, deep-link, or CDP work, use `desktop`.
