# Quickstart

Set up your command center, run your first session, and make it your own.

Two parts: the loop you'll use every day, then the handful of things worth
setting up once so your agents can do real work.

## The everyday loop

### Create a project

A [project](/docs/concepts/projects) is one company, product, or idea. From your
projects list, create one — start fresh, or bring in existing code (for
developers).

### Run a session

Open the project and start a [session](/docs/concepts/sessions). Describe the
task like you would for a teammate. The agent works in its own private,
disposable copy of the project — you can watch and reply as it goes.

### Review and keep it

When the agent finishes, it opens a
[change request](/docs/concepts/change-requests) — a summary and the exact
changes. Review it and **merge** to keep the work, or ask for changes. Nothing
touches your project until you merge.

## Set up your command center

Do these once, early. Each one widens what your agents can do for you.

### Invite your team

Bring teammates into the project so everyone can run sessions and review the
work. Set who can do what from your [account](/docs/concepts/accounts).

### Connect your tools

Plug in the apps your agent should reach — Slack, Gmail, Salesforce, Notion,
and more. The more it can [connect to](/docs/concepts/connections), the more it
can do without you in the loop. Add any [secrets](/docs/guides/managing-secrets)
(API keys and tokens) it needs while you're there.

### Make it your own — agents and skills

Every project ships with default [agents](/docs/concepts/agents) and skills, so
it works out of the box. To make it truly yours, shape your own:

- **Agents** — personas built around how your team actually works.
- **Skills** — turn a workflow you repeat into a reusable shortcut your agents
can use.

All of it lives in your project as code, version-controlled, and compounds week
over week.

### Automate the routine

Once a task is worth repeating, [automate](/docs/guides/automating-work) it.
Run work on a schedule or when something happens — no prompt needed.

That's the whole picture. Start with a session today; add the rest as you go.
