What it does
Keeps CopilotKit docs pointing at shipped Inspector panes so readers open the overlay. Use when adding, changing, renaming, or removing an Inspector pane, tab, or overlay action in @copilotkit/web-inspector, or when editing docs that mention Inspector. Don't use for Inspector UI polish that does not add a pane, for CLI or agent-prompt copy, or for unshipped Inspector ideas.
Inspector Docs Callouts
Inspector is the localhost overlay that shows Threads, Agents, and Learning. Every shipped pane that a reader can use must have a docs pointer. The pointer tells the reader to open Inspector and look at that pane.
When To Use
Load this skill when:
- A pane, tab, or overlay action is added, renamed, or removed in Inspector
- A docs page teaches a feature that Inspector already shows
- A PR touches both Inspector source and product docs
Do not load it for icon, ping, layout, or copy-only Inspector changes that
do not add a pane. Those UI changes use inspector-workbench.
If the same change also edits Inspector UI, load inspector-workbench as
well and start the standalone lab.
Procedures
Procedure 1: Map a shipped pane to docs
- Name the shipped pane using the label the reader sees in Inspector.
- If mapping a pane, read
references/pane-map.mdbefore proceeding. - If the pane is not shipped, stop. Do not add a Callout.
- If the map already has a page, open that page and confirm the Callout names this pane and what success looks like.
- If the map has no page, add a Callout on the matching shared root docs page, or write
no page yetin the map. Do not invent a page. - Update
references/pane-map.mdin the same change.
Procedure 2: Remove a pane
- If removing a pane, read
references/pane-map.mdbefore proceeding. - Remove the Callout from the mapped page.
- Delete the map row.
Procedure 3: Quickstart sanity-check step
The default web quickstart includes a numbered step after the first chat:
- Agents then Agent: the agent is listed.
- Send a chat message. Agents then AG-UI Events: events are moving.
- Threads: unlocked, or locked with Enable Intelligence.
