Getting Started
What does that mean!?!
A simple glossary of the jargon — LLMs, MCPs, agents, APIs and the rest. Open this any time something doesn't make sense.
LiveInitial Setup
From zero to a first working agent session — pick a shell, connect model access, open a working folder, and try your first prompt. (Still OpenCode-heavy; multi-tool setup coming.)
Live5 Things to Try First
Five small projects to build momentum once you're set up. Each takes 15–30 minutes and produces something real you'll actually use.
LivePart 1 — Powering Up with Context
Building Context Packs
How to structure documents, transcripts, playbooks, and other files so your agent can use them as rich, reliable context. The single biggest lever for better output quality.
LiveUsing Skills
How to create reusable instruction sets — recipes that give the agent specialised knowledge and workflows for repeatable tasks (skills, rules, or slash commands depending on the tool).
LiveData Safety & Boundaries
What actually gets sent to the model, what stays local, and how to make confident decisions about what's safe to include as context — and what to keep out.
LivePart 2 — Working Habits
Efficient Usage
Right tool for the job, model choice, session hygiene, and plan-before-build — habits that cut cost and improve quality. (Billing details vary by product; principles transfer.)
LiveFile Management
Working files, agent config, and session history each need different treatment. What to version, what to back up, and what should stay local only.
LiveCollaborating on GitHub Pages
How to set up a shared GitHub Pages site so multiple team members can contribute, review and publish content together — without needing to know HTML.
Work in progressPart 3 — MCPs & APIs
Understanding MCPs
What MCPs are, how read and write access works, and why live connections to your tools beat static files.
LiveHandling API Keys & Tokens Safely
How to manage credentials securely and scalably — across sessions, devices, and team members — without exposing secrets in config files or chat logs.
LiveMCP Setup Possibilities
What MCPs are available, how configuration typically works, and what to watch out for when getting started. (Config examples still OpenCode-oriented; pattern is universal.)
