Nodes Overview
Nodes are the building blocks of your graph. Each node represents a single piece of your AI toolkit — a skill, a prompt, a reference document, a service configuration, or something else entirely.
What every node has
- Type — one of 7 types (see table below)
- Title — a short name shown on the graph canvas
- Description — what the node does or contains (optional)
- Content — the main body: a prompt template, configuration, reference material, code snippet, etc.
- Tags — colour-coded labels for organisation (see Tags)
- Metadata — auto-tracked: created date, updated date, unique ID
Node types
| Type | Colour | Hex | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
| Skill | Indigo | #6366f1 | Reusable units of functionality or logic — the “doing” nodes |
| Prompt | Amber | #f59e0b | Template text sent to an LLM — the “saying” nodes |
| Workflow | Emerald | #10b981 | Orchestration containers that connect skills, prompts, and services into a sequence |
| Source | Violet | #8b5cf6 | Reference materials, standards, and guidelines that inform other nodes |
| Document | Cyan | #06b6d4 | Long-form knowledge base entries — the “reading” nodes |
| Asset | Pink | #ec4899 | Configuration files, schemas, code snippets, and other structured content |
| Service | Sky | #0ea5e9 | External tools and platforms a workflow runs on (e.g. Claude, GPT-4, Gemini) |
Each type has a distinctive colour shown as a left border stripe on the node card, making it easy to identify at a glance.
Changing a node’s type
You can change a node’s type after creation. Open the node in the editor and select a different type from the type dropdown. The node’s colour and category will update immediately. Connections remain intact, though you may want to review whether the existing connection types still make sense.
Creating nodes
Double-click an empty area of the canvas to create a new node. You can also use the toolbar or keyboard shortcuts. New nodes default to the Skill type — change this in the editor if needed.
