Talk to your agent

Your agent lives in the workspace folder the starter pack installed. To start a session, open that folder in Codex or Claude Code, start a new conversation, and say hello. That's the whole ritual.

If you forgot the exact clicks, use the guide below.

The short version

  1. 1. Open Codex or Claude Code.
  2. 2. Choose your agent workspace folder, the one with AGENTS.md, MEMORY.md, and knowledge-base.
  3. 3. Start a new session in that folder.
  4. 4. Say: "Hi. Please start up in this workspace."
1

Open Codex

Launch the Codex desktop app. If you already have a thread open, start a new one when you want a clean session with your agent.

2

Pick the workspace folder

When Codex asks for a workspace, choose the folder created during install. It may be named after your agent, or something like agent-workspace. If you are not sure, open the folder and look for AGENTS.md.

3

Say hello

Send a simple message: "Hi. Please start up in this workspace." Your agent should read its startup files before doing anything else.

What to say first

You do not need a special command. Plain language is the interface.

"Hi. Please start up in this workspace."

"Help me plan my day."

"Let's check in."

"I'm stuck. Help me find one tiny next step."

"What can you help me with from here?"

If it feels like a generic AI chat, check the folder. Most startup problems mean the session is not pointed at the agent workspace. Start a new session and choose the folder with AGENTS.md at the top level.

Stuck or need help?

Send a message and it comes straight to me. Tell me where you got stuck and I'll write back.

Rather have it done for you?

If following the steps yourself isn't how your brain works today, that's fine. On a Zoom call you share your screen and hand me control, and I set it up for you, right there on your own computer. You watch it come together and end the call with a working setup, nothing left on your plate.
