Project Model

A project is the unit of session grouping and working directory:

Create a Project

  1. Click “+” in the “Project Tasks” header (or Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+N).
  2. Enter a name and select folders.
  3. Mark one as the main directory (where the agent works by default).

Session Grouping

Project Context

Place AGENTS.md or RULES.md in the project’s main directory. The agent reads it as project context (coding standards, common commands, notes) in every session.

File Role Put here
AGENTS.md Guidance Project background, tech stack, directory layout, common commands
RULES.md Hard constraints Must-follow standards (naming, forbidden patterns, security rules)
