Seven capabilities read and respond without ever changing your site. The signal that selects
them: your message reads as a **question or conversation**, not a command — ending with `?` is
the strongest cue.

## Project questions

*"what color is the footer?"* · *"which page is the longest?"* · *"what font is this?"*

Genesis reads your project's actual files and answers in a couple of seconds with the concrete
value — a hex code, a font name, a page list. Select an element first and the question is
answered **about that element** specifically.

The answer carries an **Ask** badge, and when it describes something doable, a **Build this
now** chip — one click turns the answer into the actual change.

## Web questions

*"how do I integrate Stripe?"* · *"what image size is best for OG tags?"*

When the answer needs outside knowledge, Genesis searches and reads the web, then answers with
concrete, sourced information. Slower than project questions (it's actually researching), and
still read-only.

## Suggestions & variants

*"give me some options for the hero"* · *"what would you suggest?"* · *"which is better, X or Y?"*

Genesis proposes **3–5 concrete variants as clickable chips**. Click one and it's applied as a
real edit; or type your own take. Great for when you know something's off but not what you
want instead.

## Clarifications

When a message is genuinely ambiguous, Genesis asks a short question — often with answer
chips — instead of guessing. One tap and the work continues. The cheapest way to avoid this:
[phrase the request specifically](/building/writing-prompts/) in the first place.

## Small talk & the fallback

Greetings and off-topic chat get a friendly short reply, no project touched. And if a message
matches nothing at all, Genesis says so and asks you to rephrase — that's the safety net at
the very bottom of the routing.

## The one habit worth keeping

End questions with **`?`** and phrase edits as **commands**. *"can you make the header
sticky?"* reads as a question — *"make the header sticky"* is the edit.
