CLI guides

Each guide does one thing, in the order you would do it. To understand how the parts fit together first, start with How the TALOS CLI works.

• Set up a provider and a model Run the guided setup, give TALOS a key or sign in, choose a model, and check that it answers.
• Run a task without the screen Give TALOS one task from the shell or a script, get text or JSON back, and know what it may do on its own.
• Allow, ask or deny a tool Write permission rules for the TALOS CLI, check what a rule would decide before you rely on it, and answer when TALOS asks.
• Undo what a turn changed Restore the files TALOS changed, from checkpoints kept outside your repository, and apply them again if you change your mind.
• Resume, fork and share a session Come back to a session, try another way from a copy, name and find sessions, and export or share one safely.
• Work in the interactive screen Write and send, answer approvals, queue or steer while TALOS works, watch sub-agents, and find your way with the keyboard.
• Adjust the display and notifications Set the width of answers, notifications, the mouse, the theme and what stays on screen when you leave.
• Add MCP servers, hooks and commands Prepare a project, trust it, add an MCP server, a hook, a plugin or a command of your own, and test each before it runs.
• Schedule a task Have a task of the board run by itself at an interval or at a daily time, try it first, and keep it running in the background on Windows.
• Check your setup and report a problem Find what is missing with doctor, read the logs, make a redacted report for a bug, and check for a newer version.
