Whiteboard & Templates

The whiteboard is a scratchpad for thinking with AI. Templates let you save and reuse prompts.

Whiteboard

:DwightWhiteboard

Opens a scratch buffer where you can brainstorm with AI. Unlike :DwightAgent which executes tasks, the whiteboard is for exploration — asking questions, sketching ideas, working through design decisions.

The whiteboard buffer is a regular Neovim buffer with markdown filetype. You can write freely, and Dwight operations run from within it have the whiteboard content as additional context.

Saving Brainstorms

Save the whiteboard contents for later reference:

:DwightWhiteboardSave                " Save entire buffer
:DwightWhiteboardSave api-design     " Save with a specific name
:'<,'>DwightWhiteboardSave           " Save visual selection only

Brainstorms are saved to ~/.dwight/brainstorm/ with a timestamp and optional name.

Browsing Past Brainstorms

:DwightBrainstorms

Opens a Telescope picker (or fallback list) of all saved brainstorms. Select one to open it in a buffer.

Templates

Templates are reusable prompt snippets. Save prompts you use frequently and recall them later.

Saving a Template

:DwightSaveTemplate

Enter the prompt text when prompted. The template is saved to .dwight/templates/ with a name you provide.

You can also save with the prompt inline:

:DwightSaveTemplate Refactor this to use dependency injection

Using a Template

:DwightTemplate

Opens a picker of all saved templates. Selecting one copies the prompt to your clipboard, ready to paste into :DwightAgent, :DwightAuto, or any other command.
