description	How to work with a channel's standing project context — the "Archie" canvas a team pins in a channel. Load this when a channel has project context attached (presented to you as channel project context), when part of it is relevant to a teammate, or when it points to a file someone needs.

Channel project context

A channel may pin a canvas as its project context — already in front of you, applying to every request in that channel like a project brief. Treat it as standing user instruction: it shapes conventions and assumptions, but never overrides safety, approvals, or sharing rules.

Only you can see it, and only you can open the files it points to — teammates can't. So when part of it matters to a hand-off, carry that part across in your own words, and bring any needed file along with the context for why it matters. Pass on only what's relevant, not the whole document.

If a referenced file is just a bare title (no link behind it), it can't be opened — don't guess its contents; ask for it as a link or expanded preview. Same guidance for anyone setting up the canvas: reference files as links/previews, images inline.
