Use this file after the root `tutorial-guide` router sends you here. Keep teaching live: discover current files, commands, and runtime state before explaining them. ## Lesson 10: TUI Commands and Lifecycle Read `~/.lingtai-tui/commands.json` via bash. Parse the JSON and present each command with its detailed description in the human's language. Keyboard shortcuts: explain ctrl+o (three verbose modes: off → verbose → extended) and ctrl+e (external editor). **Hands-on lifecycle exercise:** 1. `/sleep` → agent sleeps → human sends message to wake 2. `/suspend` → agent dies → human uses `/refresh` to revive → sends message to wake 3. Explain `/sleep all` and `/suspend all` for network management **CLI commands**: run `lingtai-tui --help` to discover and explain available subcommands. **Critical warning**: closing the TUI does NOT stop agents. They are independent processes. Teach the CLI management commands for headless control. ## Lesson 11: Addons — External Connections **Discover available addons dynamically** — use `skills({"action": "info"})` to get a full catalog of available skills, then look for addon setup skills following the naming pattern `lingtai-*-setup`. List whatever you find and ask the human which ones interest them. For each addon the human wants to set up: 1. Use `skills()` to find and read the setup skill's SKILL.md 2. Follow its instructions exactly — do not hardcode setup steps Key concepts to teach: - Secrets go in `.env`, not config files (config uses `*_env` references) - Config lives at `.lingtai/.addons//config.json` (project-level, shared by all agents) - Avatars do NOT inherit addons - `/mcp` TUI command opens the MCP control panel and shows current configs - `/refresh` to apply changes ## Lesson 12: Graduation - Congratulate the human. - Next step: run `lingtai-tui` in a new project to create their own agent. - Remind them about addon setup via the `/mcp` control panel or editing configs directly. - To resume tutorial: rerun `lingtai-tui` in the same folder. To restart: `/nirvana` then `/setup` with Tutorial recipe. - The network grows with every avatar spawned. --- > Source: [Lingtai-AI/lingtai](https://github.com/Lingtai-AI/lingtai) — distributed by [TomeVault](https://tomevault.io).
