The library and files
The Library lists every markdown file in your workspace, grouped by type.
Doc types
Each doc has a type, taken from its YAML frontmatter type: field (or guessed
from the filename when absent). The six built-in types are:
- Rules — constraints and always-on guidance (
CLAUDE.md, conventions). - Plans — roadmaps and task plans.
- Architecture — system and design notes.
- Decisions — ADRs / decision records.
- Prompts — reusable prompt text.
- Notes — everything else.
Each type has its own colour glyph. You can change a doc's type from the frontmatter strip above the editor — Bedrock writes it back into the file's frontmatter.
Pinned docs
Pin the docs you reach for most. Use the … menu on a row (or the file menu)
and choose Pin. Pinned docs appear in a Pinned section at the top of the
Library. Pinning is stored in the doc's frontmatter (pinned: true).
File actions (the … menu)
Hover a doc row and click the … button for per-file actions:
- Rename… — move the file to a new name/path (with validation).
- Duplicate — make a copy (named
… copy.md). - Pin / Unpin — toggle the pinned state.
- Delete… — permanently remove the file (with a confirmation).
Creating files
- Click New file in the Library footer (or press ⌘N) to choose a template and name the file. See Templates.
- New files open immediately in the editor.
Live sync
Bedrock watches the folder. If you edit, add, or remove files outside the app (in your editor or via git), the Library and open document update automatically. Your unsaved edits are never overwritten by an external change.
