Open an Agent RX workspace

Open RX in the intended project and inspect its controls before submitting a task. This quickstart ends at an oriented workspace, not a completed coding task.

Before you start

Use a project you are authorized to work on. Save existing changes and keep their identity separate from agent changes. If RX is absent, use the maintained installation instructions. Configure provider access separately; opening a workspace does not establish inference access.

Confirm the project

1. In your shell, change to your project directory. Replace PROJECT_DIRECTORY with that directory.

   cd PROJECT_DIRECTORY
   pwd

2. Check the printed directory. For a Git project, record existing work with the following commands. Replace path/to/changed-file with a relevant tracked file; these commands do not display untracked file contents.

   git status --short
   git diff --stat
   git diff -- path/to/changed-file

Open and inspect

1. Start RX from that shell:

   rx

2. Enter /help inside RX, not in the shell. Inspect the commands your installed version exposes.

3. Enter /tools to inspect tools advertised to the model. Use /models to inspect model choices; opening the model picker can request provider catalogues. Catalogue discovery is not inference, but it can use network access.

Check the result

Confirm the intended workspace, visible session help, and tool information. You have not submitted a coding task. A model appearing in a catalogue does not prove your account can invoke it.

If opening fails

If the shell cannot locate RX, follow RX is not found. If a provider fails, retain the non-secret message rather than trying an unrelated model or changing account settings. Do not paste keys into a task.

Continue with a bounded task or the command reference.
