What is a Fragment Type in Usable
What is a Fragment Type?
A Fragment Type classifies a fragment’s purpose and formatting within a Usable workspace. It tells the system (and humans) how to treat the content – whether it’s a reference document, a step‑by‑step guide, a troubleshooting solution, or a reusable code template.
Main Pre‑defined Types
| Type | Description | Typical Use |
|---|---|---|
| Knowledge | General information, documentation, definitions. | Reference articles, conceptual overviews. |
| Recipe | Step‑by‑step guides, tutorials, procedures. | Onboarding checklists, how‑to guides. |
| Solution | Specific problem‑solving instructions, troubleshooting. | Bug fixes, error‑handling guides. |
| Template | Reusable code snippets, project scaffolds, boilerplates. | Boilerplate projects, config files. |
| Instruction Set | Machine‑readable instructions for the LLM to perform actions. | Automation scripts, persona setups. |
Why Fragment Types Matter?
- Search relevance – Types help the engine rank results appropriately.
- UI rendering – Different types may show distinct visual cues (icons, colors).
- Permissions – Some workspaces restrict creation of certain types.
- Automation – Instruction Sets are consumed by agents for automated workflows.
Compiled from the Usable Live and Social Media workspaces, this definition summarises the role and pre‑defined types used across the platform.
