Onboarding

A short welcome window in the app's palette, three steps. First the folders: drop them in or choose them. The open panel starts at your home folder, since the app can't look around until you grant something. Try it, then Continue.
What the first scan found ("Here's what we found"). Hugo sites stay off until you turn them on, and Preview looks for hugo the first time you use it, not here. Suggestions wait for your say. A vault gets the Obsidian plugin's offer, and the Clipboard line says when it reads. The tour is offered, never added on its own; click its folder to put it somewhere else.
Set aside for E. Long, A: one step per folder. Five folders make five short pages, each with its own sites and suggestions, then a "Try it out" page for the Clipboard note and the tour. Nothing runs long, but the steps grow with your folders, and ~/work's seven sites still need a capped list.
Set aside for E. Long, B: a summary, choices later. One line per folder and two counts. Sites are turned on from the Posts tab and suggestions wait on the All projects board, where they already live, so the welcome never grows past a page. It decides nothing here, which also fits "suggest, never presume".
Set aside for E. Long, C: one folder open at a time. Each folder with something to decide shows "· N to look at" and opens in place; opening another closes it. One page, but a folder with many sites still makes it tall.
Set aside for E. Long, D: blanket switches. B's summary with the choices as two switches, so the page stays one size whatever was found: posts for every site (each can go on the Posts tab) and suggestions on the board. "All 100 projects included" with Choose…, which opens Settings › Folders rather than a list here.
Chosen (question 67). E, step 2: defaults before the scan. The user's flow (2026-10-21): drop folders, pick the defaults, then confirm the count. The switches are the blanket ones, set before anything is found, and Settings changes them per project later. Scan Folders runs the first scan.
E, step 3: confirm the number. Under about 40 projects it's "Found 12 projects" and Continue. Past that: "That's a lot of projects", one count per folder, and Review in Settings…, which opens Settings › Folders beside the window rather than rebuilding it here; Proceed goes on. The tour offer moves here, once the count is known.
The hotkey ships unbound, with ⌃⌥Space suggested in Sage. Where it lives: the menu bar icon (Hidden only once there's a shortcut or the Dock) and Show in Dock and app switcher, as in Settings › Appearance. Open at login is off until you turn it on. Open Space Command hands off to the panel.

# Space Command tour

Everything here is plain text. Act on these
in the panel and watch this file change.
Tick every box and Space Command offers to
remove this tour for you.

### Try these #todo

- [ ] Tick this box in the panel
- [ ] Click this one, then give it p1
- [ ] Click this one, then Focus
- [ ] Snooze this one; it leaves Today

A thought on any line can be an #idea.

~~A struck-through line counts as done #todo~~

Tags in code, like `#todo`, are never items.

### Your Hugo site #todo

- [ ] On Posts, press ▶ on a site to preview it
- [ ] Press + on it to start a draft post
The tour, as its own small project: a Space Command Tour/ folder with a TODO.md of real tagged lines to try each action on, so it shows as a project of its own. The Hugo section is written only when the first scan found a site. It's never recreated or overwritten, and nothing depends on it.

Tour done. You've ticked, prioritised, focused, and snoozed: that's onboarding finished. The tour can go now. Next: Setting up Space Command

Open in EditorShow in Finder
Remove Tour…
When the last box is ticked, a card leads Tasks: onboarding is finished, the tour can go, and the help's setup page is next. Remove Tour moves its folder to the Trash (⌘Z brings it back); Keep Tour leaves it, and the card doesn't come back. Any time before then, the tour project's right-click menu has Remove Tour…, which says the same before it goes. The app removes only the folder it wrote, and asks first if anything in it has been edited past the tour's lines or added.
