Lingtai Portal Guide

Reference router for lingtai-portal internals — startup/opening, .portal/ files, topology/replay APIs, network response shape, and lifecycle/recording. Use when the human asks about visualization, network history, or the portal.

Portal Guide

This is a reference router. It describes how the LingTai portal works internally. Do not take action based on this skill alone — use it to choose the focused reference that matches the portal question.

Quick orientation

lingtai-portal is a Go binary that serves a web visualization of the agent network from the same .lingtai/ directory the TUI reads, on a random local port written to .lingtai/.portal/port.

Nested reference catalog

  description: `topology.jsonl` frame shape, replay chunk storage, API endpoints, and the live `Network` response schema.

  location: reference/lifecycle-and-recording/SKILL.md
  description: Portal lifecycle-state interpretation, heartbeat/staleness rule, 3-second recording loop, and reconstruction behavior.

Routing table

Need	Read
Explain what the portal is, how to open it, or where portal files live	`reference/overview/SKILL.md`
Inspect topology tape format, replay chunks, API endpoints, or network JSON	`reference/topology-and-api/SKILL.md`
Explain agent lifecycle states in portal output or how recording/rebuild works	`reference/lifecycle-and-recording/SKILL.md`

Safety notes

Treat this skill as architecture reference, not an instruction to mutate portal state.
If you need to change portal code, use lingtai-dev-guide and lingtai-tui-anatomy first, then read the cited Go code.
If a portal URL, field name, or behavior here disagrees with the current code, load lingtai-issue-report and surface the stale documentation.
