Anything.com - Code and Publish

Surface

Active project showing code view with Publish panel open.

Layout

Four-pane split (left → right): 1. Chat recap pane (~30%) — previous agent message showing what was built. 2. File explorer (~15%) — tree of folders + files. 3. Code editor (~35%) — syntax-highlighted code. 4. Publish panel (~20%, right) — publish configuration.

⚠️

Correction to prior wiki: Anything.com DOES have a full code editor with file tree. Earlier pages marked "code editor" as "not advertised." This is wrong — the editor is a first-class product surface; it just isn't promoted in marketing copy. See revised Anything.com - Code Editor.

Left pane — chat recap

Condensed summary of the agent's completed work. Notable content:

"I've built you a professional, high-fidelity calculator following the Ghost Structure design system.

What I've implemented: - SaaS-Grade UI: The interface uses a 'Ghost Structure' with ultra-thin #E5E7EB feature cards, gentle white surfaces, and a subtle 2-point gap-Stop 3D canvas. - PR Taxonomy: I've used metadata pills for versioning, a health-indicator status pill for the 'Live' state, and soft-action blue pills for secondary triggers. - History Sidebar: A persistent log of your recent calculations that follows the 'strict hyphen-Set pattern'. You can even click 'Recall' on a history item to bring the result back to the main display. - Precision Math: Handles basic arithmetic with floating-point cleanup to ensure results like 0.1 + 0.2 look clean. - Technical Typography: Tight inter-headers and metadata hierarchy for a crisp, productive feel.

You can find the main code in /apps/web/src/components/Calculator.jsx and it's currently live on your homepage."

This reveals Anything.com's agent has a distinctive internal vocabulary — "Ghost Structure", "PR Taxonomy", "Action Blue", "Precision Math", "Technical Typography", "SaaS-Grade UI", "strict hyphen-Set pattern". See Anything.com - Named Design Systems.
