Quick start

Open a workspace, write a file, ask the agent to change it, accept the diff. Five minutes.

1. Sign in and open a workspace

Go to krowforge.com, sign in, and either pick an existing workspace from the home grid or click New workspace.

A workspace is a sandboxed project directory on the KrowForge server. Each workspace is fully isolated — its own filesystem, its own terminal sessions, its own environment.

2. The first 30 seconds

When the workspace opens you'll see four zones:

  1. Activity rail (far left) — Start, Map, Issues, Ask, Draft, Changes, Run.
  2. Sidebar (left) — file tree + project search.
  3. Editor (centre) — Monaco. Click any file in the tree to open it.
  4. Right panel — agent chat, changes timeline, terminal.

The top bar has launcher chips for the not-immediately-obvious features:

  • Ask code — opens the semantic codebase search.
  • Browser — opens the browser allowlist editor.
  • What's new — re-opens the build's release-notes toast.
  • Docs — links here.

3. Run something

Open the Run tab in the activity rail, or click the terminal icon. A real shell opens. Type:

echo "hello from the workspace"
ls -la

That's a real PTY. Ctrl+C works. Multi-tab works. Reloading the page re-attaches you to the same sessions.

4. Ask the agent to do something

Click the Ask tab on the activity rail (or press the chat shortcut). Type:

Add a README.md with a one-paragraph description of this project.

The agent will:

  1. Look at the project.
  2. Propose a diff.
  3. Show you the diff in the Changes panel.

You review hunk-by-hunk. Accept what you like, reject what you don't. Apply.

Every apply creates a rollback receipt. If something goes sideways, the Changes timeline has a one-click undo.

5. Ask the codebase

Press Ctrl+Shift+K (or click the Ask code chip). Type:

where is the database connection configured

You get ranked file:line hits. Click any result to jump to that line in the editor.
