2026-09-16: Larger completion screenshot tiles

Drawer tiles keep the image's own aspect and object-fit: contain. There is no shared 16/10 cell. Spec and Goal Overview show two tiles on desktop and one on a narrow drawer. Spec Evidence and ticket galleries use a 280px-wide track. The viewer fills the stage with contain, so a small original upscales. Capture at the full viewport. Prefer at least 1440×900 so the viewer stays sharp. Hub does not refuse a minimum size. Complete Needs review and Accepted cards stay compact.

2026-09-15: Completion screenshots in the artifact drawer

Structured screenshots open as pictures in the Spec, Goal, and ticket drawers. Spec and Goal Overview show a short strip (two on desktop, one at ≤760) with View all screenshots, which opens the full-size viewer. Spec Evidence and ticket detail keep the full collection. Complete Needs review and Accepted cards stay compact. Click the card to open the drawer. Spec-less tickets have no screenshot tiles.

2026-09-14: Archived work and Goal Restore

Settings → Archived work lists archived Goals, Specs, and Tickets. Restore a Goal as Draft, Active, or Complete. Work and Complete stay free of archived rows. Agents cannot archive a Goal without a human confirm in Hub.

2026-09-09: First-run Knowledge drop and area chips

An empty Knowledge library is a drop target: Upload a document to seed Knowledge. Upload opens the picker. Develop Add to Knowledge opens Knowledge and that picker. After files land in Unfiled and you still have no named areas, chips suggest names. Confirm creates the ones you pick. Hub never mints an area on its own.

2026-09-09: Multi-tab layout survives reload

With Multi-tab on (Alt/Option+W, or the footer toggle), refresh keeps the same open panes and which tabs sit side by side. Turning it off still shows one panel. A first visit with nothing saved uses the default single panel.

The four panels

2026-09-04: Side-by-side panels (Alt+W)

On a window 1280px wide or more, Alt/Option+W keeps several of the four panels open at once. Open another pane beside this one. Minimize (−) collapses it.

2026-09-04: Develop is Refine → Pressure → Go to Work

The idea drawer action bar is Refine, Pressure, then Go to Work. Copy link and Scrap idea live in the header menu. Hub classifies Goal, spec, or ticket when you Go to Work. You do not pick a destination on the bar.

Ideas

When a spec has two or more live tickets, the spec drawer lets you set a Recommended order (hint). Ready to start can follow it. It never blocks Start.

2026-08-28: Chat is the question box

Ask left the top bar. Chat on the left is where you ask. It searches Knowledge and cites Documents. View history shows when you last talked; Filter conversations narrows the list. Chat stays usable while a drawer is open. Ticket lists land as rows on the turn. Chips are permalinks, click the drawer, ⌘-click a new tab.

2026-08-28: Knowledge QA checklists

Knowledge has a QA area for interactive test checklists. Open a Tests document and mark Pass / Fail. A failed check can become an Idea with Create Idea from bug.

2026-08-28: Complete generates manual tests

When you Accept on Complete, Hub can generate Manual test cases. They land in Knowledge (QA) and show on the Complete card. Missing evidence stays quiet when Track completion evidence is Off.

2026-08-21: Hub Help and Knowledge upload

In-app Help now covers the four panels plus Decisions, Settings, and Agents. Connected agents can upload files into Knowledge (8 MB). Larger files stay on Hub Upload (25 MB). Markdown notes, what you now know, still land from Complete or as a note, not as a file.

2026-08-20: Cursor

You can now use rinkata from Cursor. Mint a key under Settings → API keys, copy the Cursor config from the Grok Bot (Cursor) card, paste it into Cursor, then reload Cursor's tools.

This path works for every model in Cursor, including Grok Bot. If you already use the rinkata command-line tool, connect Cursor from that tool instead of minting a key.

2026-08-16: Draft Complete documentation with Gemini

After you Accept a spec, Add this to documentation has Summarize under the Documentation field. The draft lands there, edit it, then Add or Update. Nothing autosaves.

Knowledge

2026-08-15: Edit Knowledge documents

Open a document in Knowledge and use Edit in the drawer header. Markdown is the document: Write markdown (lists continue on Enter), Preview the rendered page, then Save. Nothing autosaves. Unsaved close asks Discard or Keep editing. PDFs stay read-only.

2026-08-14: Grok Build and Grok Bot

We're happy to support the latest offerings from xAI. You can now use rinkata from Grok Build and from Grok Bot. Ask either one what's on Work, capture ideas, or update tickets, the same project you see on screen.

Mint a key under Settings → API keys, click Copy for Grok, and paste what you copied into your session. Grok registers the connection for you.

Set up Grok

2026-07-31: Claude Desktop and ChatGPT

You can now use rinkata from Claude Desktop's Code tab and from ChatGPT, on the web or in the desktop app. Ask either one what's on Work, capture ideas, or update tickets, the same project you see on screen. Setting up either connection takes about two minutes.

Claude Desktop's Code tab

The Code tab connects over the web, so there's nothing to install.

Mint a key under Settings → API keys, click Copy for Claude, and paste what you copied into the Code tab. The instruction arrives already filled in. Then quit and reopen Claude, it won't pick up the new connection until it restarts.

Set up the Code tab

ChatGPT

ChatGPT connects over sign-in rather than an API key, it won't accept a pasted key. You point it at one address, approve a screen naming the workspace and the permissions, and ChatGPT gets its own connection that it renews.

Nothing to paste. Authorization is per-person: teammates each connect separately, and disconnecting yours doesn't disturb theirs.

Set up ChatGPT

Connected apps

Every app you connect now appears under Settings → Connected apps, one row per connection, showing the app, its permissions, when you connected, and when it was last used. Disconnect takes effect immediately.

Disconnecting, uninstalling, or deleting the connector inside ChatGPT does not revoke rinkata's side. If you want access to actually end, end it from Settings → Connected apps.
