Projects

What a Project Is

Each project in KingCoding is a local folder you've registered. Tasks, King sessions, issues, and memos all attach to it, and the AI runs there as its working directory.

Register a Project

• Click the "+" in the sidebar
• Pick the target directory
• Name, colour, and icon are filled in automatically (editable later)

Switch, Reorder, Archive

• Click an entry in the sidebar to switch project
• Right-click to archive or reorder
• Archived projects collapse into the Archived section so the list stays clean
• Restore them anytime from the same menu

Project Settings — General

The General tab covers presentation and the working directory.

• Name / colour / icon — controls how the project appears in the sidebar and header
• Project path — the actual working directory; update it if the folder moves

King Mode Settings

The King Mode tab in project settings records the project-specific purpose, target, and rules you want the PM to use. It takes precedence over global PM defaults.

• Design rules and coding conventions
• Safety guardrails (e.g. "no destructive ops")
• Deploy and release caveats
• Stakeholder preferences

Tips That Pay Off

• Keep repo-wide rules in project settings so you don't repeat them per task
• One project per app or repo keeps history and memos clean
• Setting a colour and icon makes multi-project work easier to scan
