Every Space has a Space Context document. It’s a single document you write that Hops always reads from, no matter which thread you’re in. Think of it as the brief Hops has already read before you say anything.

​
Where to find it

  • Open a Space
  • Click the Space name in the top bar (for example, daily-brief)
  • That opens the Space panel where the Space Context document lives
  • From there you can create, open, and edit the document
Opening the Space Context document from the Space name Once the document has content, click the Space name again to open it and edit or expand it.

​
What to put in it

The Space Context document is free-form. You write whatever standing context you want Hops to carry in this Space. Good things to include:
  • What this Space is for (the project, the team, the workflow)
  • Current goals or priorities
  • Key decisions that have already been made
  • Tone, format, or output preferences for this Space
  • Links or references to other important docs
There’s no strict format. Write it the way you’d brief a new teammate on their first day.

How it’s different from Pins

Pins surface specific messages from chat history so your team can find them again easily. The Space Context document is a single, editable brief you maintain directly. Hops always reads from the Space Context document. Pins are for your team: a way to flag important messages so people don’t have to scroll back through the thread to find them.

​
Tips

Set up the Space Context document when you create a Space. Even two or three sentences about what the Space is for will make Hops more useful from the first message.
The Space Context document is visible to everyone in the Space. It’s not a private scratchpad.
