Open a Folder — Your AI Team Assembles
This is where the magic happens.
Open any folder
Click Open Folder and select a folder on your computer — new or existing.
KingDesk automatically creates a KingFolder structure inside it:
my-project/
├── src/ ← your code (as usual)
├── package.json
│
├── zz_KingFolder/ ← auto-created by KingDesk
│ ├── _Policy/ ← AI instructions
│ ├── _TalkTodoPlan/ ← AI conversation & task logs
│ └── _Urgent/ ← urgent reports
You don't touch these folders. Your AI team uses them automatically.
The Three-Panel Layout
Once the folder opens, you get the classic KingDesk three-panel layout:
┌─────────────┬──────────────────┬──────────────────┐
│ Explorer │ Editor │ Claude Code │
│ │ │ (AI Chat) │
│ [Code] │ │ │
│ src/ │ │ │
│ ───────── │ │ │
│ [KingFolder│ │ │
│ zz_King.../│ │ │
└─────────────┴──────────────────┴──────────────────┘
- Left: Explorer — code files on top, KingFolder below (separated visually)
- Center: Editor
- Right: Claude Code chat — ready to work, already knows your project
What gets set up automatically
When you open a folder, KingDesk:
- ✅ Creates the KingFolder structure
- ✅ Injects CLAUDE.md — Claude Code knows your project instantly
- ✅ Registers MCP servers — no JSON editing required
- ✅ Connects Recall — all future conversations will be remembered
Start working
Just talk to Claude Code. Ask it to write code, explain a file, create a document — anything.
Every conversation is automatically saved to Recall and to _TalkTodoPlan/.
Even if you close the app and come back tomorrow, your AI picks up exactly where you left off.
