Keep files with the project context
Kryden can work from project files, keep the surrounding loop findable, and surface referenced files, images, and links in Library.
For writers, operators, designers, and developers whose project truth lives across folders, briefs, links, outputs, and evolving instructions.
The situation
Attaching a file answers today’s question, but the next task still starts with reattaching the folder and restating why the document matters.

Depends on your setup
Kryden can only use files and folders made available to the active environment; some formats or external systems may require additional tools.
Try one real task
Copy this into Kryden and replace anything in brackets.
“Read the files in [project folder]. Build a concise current-state brief with goals, constraints, open questions, and next steps. Do not edit any file until I review it.”
When Kryden is not the answer
Kryden does not turn a messy folder into a source of truth automatically. Access must be granted, and you should review file paths and proposed edits before approval.
Give the work somewhere to continue.

Questions this choice usually raises
Can Kryden change project files?
The release includes file-change paths and approval handling. Ask for a read-only audit first and review proposed changes before approving.
What does Library contain?
In 0.16.91, Library discovers files, links, and images from session messages and lets you search or filter them.
