What are project contexts?
Project contexts are reusable configuration templates that standardize how teams start new projects in Portal with consistent design system settings and AI guidance.
You can use project contexts to define:
- Design system: Choose a design system and dataset, from which you can select design tokens for theming.
- Component library: Select from common code component libraries, or connect your own custom components (Enterprise plans only).
- Theme: Choose from a set of predefined themes, or customize further using tokens from your chosen design system.
- Icon pack: Select from common icon libraries, or connect your own custom icons (coming soon).
- Custom knowledge: Provide additional context, guidelines, or data for Supernova AI to consider, such as:
- what you're building, who it's for, core problems, platform, constraints
- brand voice
- API schemas
- other relevant information
Project contexts ensure all team members are building with the same foundations, while eliminating repetitive setup. Once saved, design system settings (design system, component library, icon pack) are locked and only the theme can be edited.
FAQ
Once a project context is saved, you cannot change design system / dataset / component set / icon pack. You can only update theme and adjust stroke width of icons.
There is no way of creating private project contexts yet.
