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.
