Comprehensive guide for implementing Velt's Suggestions API — a propose-then-review editing workflow where edits (from humans or AI agents) are captured as proposals that reviewers accept or reject. Contains 14 rules across 6 categories.
When to Apply
Reference these guidelines when:
- Adding suggestion mode to form inputs, tables, or custom components
- Implementing an AI-proposes / human-reviews workflow
- Wiring
data-velt-suggestion-targetattributes to DOM elements - Handling accept/reject events and applying accepted changes
- Querying suggestions by target or status for custom UI
- Understanding suggestion lifecycle states (pending → accepted/rejected/stale)
Rule Categories by Priority

| 3 | Mode | HIGH | mode- |

Prerequisites
Suggestions require Velt Comments to be set up — the accept/reject UI renders on the Velt comment dialog. Ensure VeltProvider is configured with authProvider and Comments are working before adding Suggestions.
