First run

Use this checklist after installing Agentic OS.

Start Command Centre

From the Agentic OS workspace:

centre

If the shortcut is not installed yet, use:

bash scripts/centre.sh

On Windows PowerShell:

powershell -File scripts\centre.ps1

Command Centre should open in your browser.

Confirm the workspace

Check that these files and folders exist:

Path	Expected result
`AGENTS.md`	Shared Agentic OS instructions are present.
`CLAUDE.md`	Claude Code wrapper is present.
`command-centre/`	Local UI app exists.
`context/`	Memory and learning source files can live here.
`brand_context/`	Brand files can live here.
`projects/`	Agent output can be saved here.
`scripts/`	Local management scripts are available.

Read Workspace structure for details.

Open Claude Code

Open Claude Code from the root workspace:

claude

Claude Code should read CLAUDE.md, which imports the shared instructions from AGENTS.md.

On a new workspace, Agentic OS may guide you through brand setup. This creates or updates files in brand_context/.

Check memory

Run a memory check when you want to confirm the local memory store is ready.

bash scripts/setup-memory.sh --check

On Windows PowerShell:

powershell -File scripts\setup-memory.ps1 -Check

If memory is not ready, run the normal setup command from Local install.

First successful run checklist

Your setup is healthy when:

Command Centre opens in the browser;
Claude Code starts from the Agentic OS workspace;
AGENTS.md and CLAUDE.md are both present;
the workspace has context/, brand_context/, projects/, and scripts/;
memory setup either passes or tells you the next action;
no real API keys or tokens were committed.

Windows notes

Use PowerShell when running Windows commands from these docs.

If the centre shortcut was just installed, open a new terminal before using it. PowerShell may not see the new shortcut until the next terminal session.
