Getting Started
Download the latest release for your platform and open a folder to create your first workspace.
Using Silo
Workspaces — the core model: what a workspace is, how to open and switch between them, and how closing differs from deleting.
Side panels — the left and right columns, what's in them, and how to show, hide, and rearrange them.
Extensions — the built-in extensions (Files, Git, Search, Themes, Markdown Preview…) and how to install more.
The silo command — open and switch workspaces directly from the shell.
Extending Silo
Silo has a public extension SDK modeled on VS Code and Obsidian. Every built-in feature ships as an extension against the same API you get.
What is an extension? — start here for the mental model. Your first extension — build a working extension step by step. Build with Claude Code — describe what you want; Claude scaffolds and installs it.
API Reference
API Reference documents every ctx member with signatures, examples, and generated type definitions. The Roadmap shows what's stable and what's planned.
