Super Writer

Super Writer demonstrates the intended Apps Layer architecture: one developer-authored overview and five native TWL Tool surfaces, all backed by installed resources.

User experience

Surface key	Type	Purpose
overview	frontendPage	Focused home screen and resource shortcuts
inspiration	dataWorkspaceView	Social posts saved by the user
styles	dataWorkspaceView	Reusable voice and writing style records
write	chat	Existing AI chat scoped to writePost
drafts	document	Generated documents ready for editing
schedule	contentScheduler	Review and schedule draft documents

Surface composition

ui: {
  icon: 'sparkles',
  color: '#6574f7',
  defaultSurface: 'overview',
  surfaces: [
    {
      key: 'overview',
      label: 'Overview',
      type: 'frontendPage',
      page: ref('frontendPages', 'overview'),
    },
    {
      key: 'inspiration',
      label: 'Inspiration',
      type: 'dataWorkspaceView',
      table: ref('dataWorkspaceTables', 'inspiration'),
    },
    {
      key: 'styles',
      label: 'Styles',
      type: 'dataWorkspaceView',
      table: ref('dataWorkspaceTables', 'styles'),
    },
    {
      key: 'write',
      label: 'Write',
      type: 'chat',
      preset: {
        workflow: ref('workflowDefinitions', 'writePost'),
        space: ref('spaces', 'root'),
        outputDocumentFolder: ref('documentFolders', 'drafts'),
        allowedTools: ['workflow.launch'],
        expectedOutput: 'document',
        showModelSelector: false,
        showBrowserControls: false,
      },
    },
    {
      key: 'drafts',
      label: 'Drafts',
      type: 'document',
      documentFolder: ref('documentFolders', 'drafts'),
    },
    {
      key: 'schedule',
      label: 'Schedule',
      type: 'contentScheduler',
      documentFolder: ref('documentFolders', 'drafts'),
      space: ref('spaces', 'root'),
    },
  ],
}

Resource flow

1. The user opens inspiration or style records in native Data Workspace views.
2. The overview calls host.navigate('write') to open scoped chat.
3. Chat launches the installed writePost workflow.
4. The workflow generates a document in the drafts folder and logs the result.
5. The document surface opens the editor; the scheduler reads from the same folder.

Friendly workflow controls

Super Writer exposes the emoji and temperature properties from the content.generate-written-content@1 Action in App Settings. The manifest only declares the workflow, step, and property bindings; the settings form reuses the Actions catalog metadata and renderer. Users can change those values without opening the workflow canvas, and the installation keeps the overrides through compatible app upgrades.

Permissions

Super Writer requests:

permissions: [
  'data-workspace.read',
  'data-workspace.write',
  'documents.write',
  'workflows.execute',
  'ai-chat.use',
  'content-scheduler.write',
]

The full certified source in the monorepo lives at packages/apps-layer/sdk/examples/twl-tool/twl-tool.app.ts with its executable suite beside it.
