It is shared across your whole team and gives you a single place to reach all your apps, agents, and team-level resources. - [Home](https://docs.riff.ai/reference/team-workspace/home.md) - [Ask Riff](https://docs.riff.ai/reference/team-workspace/ask-riff.md): Ask Riff is a persistent, threaded chat with the Riff agent at team level — available from the left sidebar of the Team Workspace. - [Context](https://docs.riff.ai/reference/team-workspace/context.md): Context is your team's knowledge library — information the Riff agent draws on when helping you build and when your agents run their jobs. - [App builder](https://docs.riff.ai/reference/app-builder.md): The App builder is where you build user-facing applications — dashboards, forms, portals, and tools that your team or customers open and use. - [Preview](https://docs.riff.ai/reference/app-builder/preview.md): Preview shows your app running live inside the App builder. Use it to test your work in real time as you build. - [Tasks](https://docs.riff.ai/reference/app-builder/tasks.md): Tasks is the shared task board between you and the Riff agent. See what is in progress, what is queued, and what has been completed. - [Riff agent chat](https://docs.riff.ai/reference/app-builder/riff-agent-chat.md): The Riff agent chat panel runs on the right side of the App builder. This is where you direct the Riff agent to build, change, and fix your app. - [Code Editor](https://docs.riff.ai/reference/app-builder/code-editor.md): The Code Editor gives you a direct view of every source file in your app. Use it to inspect what the Riff agent has built or make changes the agent cannot handle through prompting. - [Database](https://docs.riff.ai/reference/app-builder/database.md): Browse your app's built-in database tables and inspect data — and ask the Riff agent to create, query, update, or delete records directly. - [Packages](https://docs.riff.ai/reference/app-builder/packages.md): Packages shows all the libraries your app depends on and lets you add or remove them without using a command line. - [Logs](https://docs.riff.ai/reference/app-builder/logs.md): The Logs panel shows real-time output from your app — backend print statements, API calls, errors, and browser console messages. - [Deploy](https://docs.riff.ai/reference/app-builder/deploy.md): Deploy publishes your app to a permanent public URL so real users can access it. - [App Settings](https://docs.riff.ai/reference/app-builder/app-settings.md): Per-app configuration — design guidelines, management settings, custom instructions, automations, and workspace controls. - [Access](https://docs.riff.ai/reference/app-builder/access.md): The Access tab controls who can collaborate on your app, whether Riff support can view your workspace, and whether external systems can reach your development API. - [Riff environment](https://docs.riff.ai/reference/app-builder/riff-environment.md): How Riff apps and agents are structured — the two environments (development and production), the file layout, and the infrastructure underneath. - [Agent builder](https://docs.riff.ai/reference/agent-builder.md): The Agent builder is where you configure an autonomous agent — a worker that runs jobs, monitors processes, and takes action on your behalf. - [Chat](https://docs.riff.ai/reference/agent-builder/chat.md): The Chat tab is the primary building surface in the Agent builder. Configure your agent by talking to the Riff agent here. - [Pipeline](https://docs.riff.ai/reference/agent-builder/pipeline.md): The Pipeline tab shows your agent's tasks as a visual board — what the agent is working on, what's waiting, and what's done. - [Profile](https://docs.riff.ai/reference/agent-builder/profile.md): The Profile tab shows your agent's full configuration — instructions, knowledge, skills, and tools — in one read-only view. - [Triggers](https://docs.riff.ai/reference/agent-builder/triggers.md): The Triggers tab shows every way your agent can be activated — its email addresses and any scheduled runs you have set up. - [Activity](https://docs.riff.ai/reference/agent-builder/activity.md): The Activity tab shows a log of every agent run — which tools were called, how long each step took, and whether it succeeded or failed. - [The Riff agent](https://docs.riff.ai/reference/riff-agent.md): The Riff agent is the AI building assistant that works with you inside the App builder, the Agent builder, and Ask Riff. It is always the same agent — one consistent collaborator. - [Chat panel](https://docs.riff.ai/reference/riff-agent/chat-panel.md): The controls, toggles, and input options in the Riff agent chat panel — the same in the App builder, Agent builder, and Ask Riff. - [Build / Plan toggle](https://docs.riff.ai/reference/riff-agent/build-plan-toggle.md): The Build / Plan toggle switches the Riff agent between executing changes and planning them first without making any edits. - [Skills](https://docs.riff.ai/reference/riff-agent/skills.md): Skills are reusable capability definitions you can load into the Riff agent during a conversation by typing / in the chat input. - [Tools](https://docs.riff.ai/reference/riff-agent/tools.md): Tools are the actions the Riff agent can take on your behalf while helping you build — reading files, writing code, querying your database, and more. - [Shared features](https://docs.riff.ai/reference/shared.md): Features available in both the App builder and Agent builder via the + tab picker. - [Integrations](https://docs.riff.ai/reference/shared/integrations.md): Connect your app or agent to external services — ERPs, APIs, communication tools, and databases. - [Storage](https://docs.riff.ai/reference/shared/storage.md): Upload and manage files your app or agent uses — internal files for backend processing and public assets served to users. - [Secrets](https://docs.riff.ai/reference/shared/secrets.md): Secrets stores sensitive credentials — API keys, connection strings, tokens — in an encrypted vault your app or agent reads at runtime. - [Access](https://docs.riff.ai/reference/shared/access.md): Control who can collaborate on your project, whether Riff support can view your workspace, and whether external systems can reach your development API. - [Version History](https://docs.riff.ai/reference/shared/version-history.md) --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.riff.ai/reference.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
