+        <h2>Getting Started with Wraith</h2>
+        <p>Wraith is a native desktop SSH/SFTP/RDP client with an integrated AI copilot.</p>
+
+        <h3>Creating a Connection</h3>
+        <ol>
+          <li>Click <strong>File &rarr; New Connection</strong> or the <strong>+ Host</strong> button in the sidebar</li>
+          <li>Enter hostname, port, and protocol (SSH or RDP)</li>
+          <li>Optionally link a credential from the vault</li>
+          <li>Double-click the connection to connect</li>
+        </ol>
+
+        <h3>Quick Connect</h3>
+        <p>Type <code>user@host:port</code> in the Quick Connect bar and press Enter.</p>
+
+        <h3>AI Copilot</h3>
+        <p>Press <strong>Ctrl+Shift+G</strong> to open the AI copilot panel. Select a shell, click Launch, and run your AI CLI (Claude Code, Gemini, Codex).</p>
+        <p>Configure one-click launch presets in <strong>Settings &rarr; AI Copilot</strong>.</p>
+
+        <h3>Local Terminals</h3>
+        <p>Click the <strong>+</strong> button in the tab bar to open a local shell (PowerShell, CMD, Git Bash, WSL, bash, zsh).</p>
+
+        <h3>SFTP Browser</h3>
+        <p>Switch to the <strong>SFTP</strong> tab in the sidebar. It follows the active SSH session and tracks the current working directory.</p>
+        <p>Right-click files for Edit, Download, Rename, Delete.</p>
+
+        <h3>Tab Management</h3>
+        <ul>
+          <li><strong>Drag tabs</strong> to reorder</li>
+          <li><strong>Right-click tab</strong> &rarr; Detach to Window (pop out to separate window)</li>
+          <li>Close the detached window to reattach</li>
+          <li>Tabs pulse blue when there's new activity in the background</li>
+        </ul>
+
+        <h3>Remote Monitoring</h3>
+        <p>Every SSH session shows a monitoring bar at the bottom with CPU, RAM, disk, and network stats — polled every 5 seconds. No agent needed.</p>
