global chat: provide a better way to provide a better promt

As a consultant using the global assistant to generate a complex workflow with multiple steps... the current user experience is a big let down.

My workflow has several steps, many requirements and details, and needs careful planning and consideration.

The naive solution would be: upload a full 200 page (or whatever) design brief to the assistant and it'll magically generate the workflow for you. Then all subsequent edits would re-use that context.

But thats not possible in today's technology - and even if it is a solution requires a bit more nuance.

Maybe, rather than structuring chats as a conversation, try a single prompt, like a spec, which the user edits and re-generates the workflow from. This is a high level overview of the workflow. It's not for edits - it's a constant one-shot guideline. It would be big, and would have some UI for it. We may even have a service which can take your design doc and convert it into the prompt

This closely relates to the doc assistant idea - upload your docs and the assistant will just use them to answer questions.

This splits the UX into two modes: chat (for edit, debug, learning) and design (re-generate a workflow some a single spec).

The issue does not name files, tests, or implementation entry points. Start by reviewing the existing global assistant flow and the related doc assistant idea, then clarify the proposed chat and design modes, their requirements, and success criteria before implementation; done should be a decided, scoped workflow and UI plan.
