Get Started

Your first project

Point PandaOS at a folder so it works on your files instead of guessing.

You approve the changes

PandaOS proposes edits and waits for you, unless you widen Permissions.

Open one

1. Press New Project.
2. Pick how it starts. — Create a new folder, open one you already have, or clone from GitHub.
3. Ask for something specific. — A real file, a real question.

What to ask first

For a codebase, ask it to explain the entry point, or to add a small feature and start the dev server so you can see the result. For documents or data, ask for a summary of the folder, or a deck built from your notes.

Then shape it

• Rules teach it your conventions, so it stays consistent between sessions.
• Connected apps let it query a database, trigger a deploy or pull in a document.
• Skills and agents package a repeatable job into one command.

None of this is needed on day one.

Getting started in a project

Once a project is open, ask for something specific to your files. The value becomes clear when PandaOS references real content rather than generating generic answers.

For a codebase, try asking PandaOS to explain the entry point and routing, or to add a feature and start the dev server so you can see the result. For documents or data, try asking it to summarize everything in the folder or create a presentation from your notes.

PandaOS reads the relevant files, proposes changes (which you approve unless you've adjusted Permissions), and shows you the result.
