Workbench Overview

This section is the hands-on manual for the HagiCode workbench. It follows the interface module by module, so you can open the page for the part of the product you are using right now.

The workbench at a glance

The workbench opens on the session board. The screenshot below uses a small demo project called orbit-notes with one finished session.

The screen is divided into five regions:

Region	Where	What it is for	Guide
Header	Top edge	Opens the workspace-level modules: Agents, Wizard, Skills, HagiTask, Vault, settings, language, theme, and your profile	Header
Project rail	Left edge	Switches between all projects or a single project and creates new projects	Projects
Session board	Center	Shows sessions in lanes and holds the buttons that create new sessions	Sessions
Project panel	Right	Quick actions and repository status for the selected project	Projects
Status bar	Bottom edge	Tips, Agent CLI health, running sessions, break reminder, salary tracker, and the build version	Status bar and progress

Header

The header is always visible. Its buttons open drawers and dialogs on top of the current page, so you never lose your place on the board.

First launch: the initialization wizard

On a fresh installation the Initialization wizard opens by itself. You can reopen it any time with the Wizard button in the header. It has four steps and tracks how many of the three required steps are ready.

1. Language & theme – pick the interface language and a seasonal color theme. Both apply immediately.
2. Hagicoder – choose a local Agent CLI and a model, create your first Agent, and add it to the Fallback Crew. A connection test is recommended but optional.
3. Project – register the folder of your first project.
4. Community (optional) – start your first conversation or open the About page.

For the full walkthrough, including what each field means, see Wizard Setup.
