Code workspaces in OmniLore Chat
What this is
A Code workspace lets you chat about one of your private RepoHub repositories from chat.omnilore.ai.
- Code lives on RepoHub (repohub.omnilore.ai — not GitHub.com).
- Chat is for questions, planning, and guided reads (and careful writes in CodeHub mode).
- This is not the same as a Chat folder under Projects (those group conversations only).
- CoTrinity (VS Code / Cursor) is the preferred surface for heavy local edit + test loops on a clone.
How to use it (today)
- Open Chat and click the Code icon (git branch) in the side rail.
- Your private RepoHub repos appear in the list (no typing required).
- Select a repo to browse files (folders open; files start a chat about that path).
- Use Open chat for a full workspace discussion, or Continue in CoTrinity to copy a
git clonecommand for local IDE work. - Or still ask in OmniLore mode: “List my Code workspaces” / “Open Code workspace for my-repo” / “List my RepoHub projects”.
You can still open the repo in the browser: RepoHub.
Modes to pair with
| Goal | Mode |
|------|------|
| Browse + ask about code / product truth | OmniLore |
| Multi-file write / PR sprint on the forge | CodeHub |
| Fast paste with no tools | Quick (no forge tools) |
What it is not
- Not a full IDE or file tree like VS Code.
- Not automatic two-way sync of every file.
- Deleting a chat or folder does not delete your repository.
- Heavy local editing → use CoTrinity with a clone of the same repo (COTRINITY_IDE.md).
Writes
To change files on the forge, use CodeHub mode and confirm the change. The assistant should not commit silently. Default-branch protection (ST-4) may require an explicit Owner-style ack.
