Create and edit documents

/document writes long-form documents into the Document panel — a rich-text editor that opens beside your chat. Use it for essays, reports, proposals, letters, and anything you want to refine and export.

Cost: Billed on output tokens at your selected chat model’s rate — from 3 credits on the default model. Longer documents and pricier models cost more.

How to Use

Type /document followed by what you want written:

/document Write a professional cover letter for a software engineer position

The /document command for creating documents

/document Create an executive summary for a Q3 sales report

/document Draft a blog post about sustainable living tips

The document streams into the panel live — you watch it being written.

The Document Panel

When you use /document, Krater opens an editor panel next to the conversation where you can:

  1. Watch it write — the draft streams in live with a “Krater is writing…” indicator
  2. Edit directly — click anywhere and type; the panel auto-saves
  3. Format richly — headings, bold, italic, strikethrough, inline code, bullet and numbered lists, blockquotes
  4. Navigate versions — every significant change is versioned; step back and forward through the history
  5. Review changes — a diff view shows before/after with added and removed sections highlighted
  6. Switch documents — multiple documents in one chat live in a dropdown; click the title to rename
  7. Export — copy to clipboard or download as .md, .txt, .html, or .docx

The panel is resizable on desktop and full-screen on mobile.

Useful follow-ups:

Saved to Keep

Finished documents auto-save to Keep as document files. Open one from Keep to jump back into its conversation with the panel reopened — no separate export step needed to keep your work.

Tips for Great Documents

Tip Example
Specify length “Write a 500-word article”
Define tone “Professional but friendly”
Include context “For a tech-savvy audience”
Request structure “Include intro, 3 main points, conclusion”

/document uses whichever chat model you have selected — pick a stronger model for harder writing tasks, or let the Auto Router choose.

/document vs Regular Chat

Feature /document Regular chat
Formatted output Rich-text editor Markdown in the message
Version history Yes No
Diff view of edits Yes No
Selection rewrites Yes No
Dedicated panel Yes No
Export formats .md, .txt, .html, .docx Copy manually
Saved to Keep Automatic Manual

Use /document when you need polished, editable content you can refine and export. For quick answers and short text, regular chat is enough.
