What the docs library is for
Add your team's specifications, design notes and wikis once. Limn turns them into a library you can read and search, answers questions from it, and uses it in reviews and story checks.
Docs is the workspace’s reference library. You add the documents your team works from: a product specification, a refund policy, architecture notes, a Confluence space, a Notion wiki, the docs folder of a repository. Limn turns each one into a tree of short sections with a one-line summary each. Then you, the AI reviewer and the story check can all use the same library.

The page has three parts:
- The Library, on the left: every document with its state and, inside each, its contents tree. All documents opens the list of everything in the library, each with a summary. The + button adds documents.
- The viewer, in the middle: one section at a time. Every link inside it opens in Limn.
- The chat, on the right (a Read and Ask tab on a narrow screen): ask a question and get an answer that cites the sections it used.
#What the library does
- Add documents: upload files, add web pages, or connect Confluence, Notion or a GitHub repository.
- Read and ask: read the library in Limn, and ask questions.
- Search the docs: find a passage across every document.
- Docs in reviews: let the AI review and the story check read the library.
- Check against docs: compare a ticket with the library.
#How a document is built
When you add a document, Limn splits it into sections at its headings and AI writes a one-line summary of each section and a short summary of the document. That is the “build”. It runs on your machine with your own AI provider, one document at a time, and the line under the document shows how far it has got (“Summarising sections (3 of 12)”). A document you can read is “built”. If a build fails, the document says why and offers Try again.
Images and diagrams in a document are described in words where Limn can, so the text of a diagram can be searched and quoted too.
#Why it helps
Most review mistakes that matter are not bugs; they are a change that goes against something the team already decided and wrote down. A library that the reviewer reads, with quotes Limn checks, turns “someone should have remembered the policy” into a finding with the passage beside it.
