Open a real project

Elcro works best with a Git workspace:

git clone <your-repo>
# File → Open Folder in Elcro

Seed workspace AI config

Create an .elcro folder (Elcro may seed defaults):

.elcro/
  docs/           # @docs markdown
  skills/         # reusable skill prompts
  commands/       # named workflows
  subagents/      # e.g. explore.md
  hooks.json      # beforeSubmitPrompt hooks
.elcrorules       # persistent AI guidelines
.elcroignore      # indexing ignore patterns

Example .elcrorules:

# Project rules
- Prefer TypeScript strict mode.
- Do not commit secrets.
- Use existing UI patterns before inventing new ones.

Index the codebase (optional)

Settings → Indexing & Docs: enable indexing with Ollama or OpenAI embeddings, then run a reindex. Afterward, Agent can call search_codebase for semantic retrieval.
