VS Code Extension

The extension auto-activates in any workspace containing docs/arrows/index.yaml.

Install from the VS Code Marketplace — see Installation for all methods.

Language server features

Feature	Trigger
Hover	Point at `@spec ID` — shows spec text and status
Go to Definition	`F12` on `@spec ID` — jumps to the spec line
Find References	`Shift+F12` on a spec definition — lists every citation
Rename	`F2` on a spec ID — renames across the spec file and all `@spec` citations
Completion	Type `@spec` — autocompletes from all known IDs
Diagnostics	Squiggles on unknown `@spec` references; coverage warnings on spec lines

Open with LID: Show Intent Navigator (Cmd+Shift+P).

Single-click a segment node → read-only detail panel (status, specs, dependencies, next/drift prose)
Double-click a segment node → edit mode: update status, cycle spec status, edit next/drift
+ Segment button → add a new segment via overlay form; scaffolds index.yaml entry, arrow doc stub, and intent files (*-specs.md with prefix: frontmatter, *-design.md); the Spec Prefix field is pre-filled by majority-namespace inference and updates live as you type the segment ID
+ Add spec → append a spec line directly from the panel
Live-reloads on any file change — whether from the navigator, a manual edit, or an MCP agent write
