Settings

Only the preferences that change how Build Ritual looks, feels, and exports. No enterprise maze — most of this you’ll set once and never touch again.

Group 01

Interface

How the workspace looks and feels while you're inside it.

  • Density

    How much breathing room between elements. Spacious is recommended for long briefing sessions — Compact is better for reviewing many projects at once.

    Spacious
  • Theme nuance

    The base surface tone. Charcoal is the default. Black is slightly darker; Graphite is slightly warmer. All stay within the Monastic Workspace palette.

    Charcoal
  • Typography preview

    The type pairing. This is fixed — the system was designed around this pair and changing it breaks the aesthetic contract.

Defaults

What the app assumes when you start a new project.

  • Default project mode

    New projects start as Spec Sites by default. Change to Client Build if most of your new work is paid engagement instead of speculative pitches.

    Spec Site
  • Default output tabs

    Which Output Studio tabs open first after generating prompts. Others remain one click away.

    Build · Visuals
  • Prompt formatting

    How generated prompts are laid out. Structured follows the KERNEL framework (Context → Task → Constraints → Format). Freeform is closer to a conversational prompt.

Group 03

Export

What gets written to disk when you export a prompt or a full bundle.

  • Export format

    Markdown is recommended — it reads cleanly in any editor and round-trips into Claude Code without losing structure. Plain text drops the hierarchy.

    Markdown
  • Include analysis rail

    Whether the right-rail context (brand tone, constraints, assets) is appended to the exported prompt. Leave on — it's what makes the prompt reproducible.

    Yes
  • Bundle all tabs in one file

    Off by default. One file per tab keeps each prompt focused and easier to iterate on. Turn on if you prefer single-document handoff.

    No

Group 04

Profile

The person behind the workspace.

  • Name

    Shown on the sidebar and attached to exported prompts.

    Elias Thorne
  • Role

    A label, not a permission. Used only in the sidebar display.

    Premium Craftsman
  • Workspace

    The name that appears on exported prompts as the attribution line. Change only if you work under a different business name.
