ChatKit Shells
Installable shell and context-panel patterns adapted from the ChatKit reference apps.
ChatKit Shell Patterns
These are structural references from the ChatKit demos: conversation lanes paired with adjacent context, newsroom, map, or status panels.
What it is for
Borrow split-shell structure from ChatKit without confusing it with Apps SDK host display-mode rules.
Use when
You need a reusable conversation + context shell inside KnearMe-owned surfaces or demos.
Do not use when
You are defining inline, PiP, modal, or fullscreen behavior for ChatGPT. Use the Apps SDK guidance for those.
