Quickstart

From a one-line idea to a shipped Track in a few minutes, the zero-shot flow that hires a squad and starts the work for you.

The fastest way to understand Concierto is to ship something with it. This walkthrough takes you through the zero-shot flow: you describe what you want in one line, and Concierto matches it to a starter pack, hires a squad of agents, and creates a Track, the unit of work your team and its agents collaborate on, then drops you straight onto it.

No board to set up first. No agents to configure. Type the idea, watch it ship.

Before you start: you need Concierto running and one runtime online. If you haven't installed yet, the Mac app is the quickest path, it takes about two minutes. Then come back here.

Step 1. Open with an idea, not a setup wizard

When you land in a workspace, the home surface asks one question: "What do you want to build?" Below it is a single prompt bar, think of it as the front door to the whole platform.

The workspace home. One greeting, one prompt bar, and verb shortcuts (Ship · Analyze · Run · Create · Surprise). Attach files with the + to give the work context.

Type something concrete. The more specific the idea, the better the match:

Add a dark-mode toggle to our marketing site and make sure it persists across reloads.

You can attach context. A screenshot, a spec, a CSV, with the + button or by dropping files onto the bar. Anything you attach rides along to the Track the agents receive.

Press Enter (or the arrow) to zero-shot it.

Step 2, Concierto hires the squad

On submit, Concierto does four things in one motion, no confirmations:

01
Match the idea to a pack

Your one-liner is matched to the closest starter pack. A pre-built recipe of agents, skills, and a Track template tuned for a kind of work (shipping a feature, analyzing a codebase, running an outreach, creating content).

02
Hire the squad

The pack's squad is created in your workspace, a leader agent plus the specialists it routes work to. They become first-class members you can reuse and reassign later.

03
Create the Track

A Track is opened with your idea as the brief and your attachments as context, then assigned to the squad.

04
Land you on it

You're dropped straight onto the Track. The squad leader reads the brief and delegates the first step, usually within a few seconds of a runtime picking it up.

Want to review before anything is created? Use Customize first instead of Enter. Concierto proposes a pack and a draft Track you can edit. Change the squad, rewrite the brief, tweak the plan, and only creates it when you confirm. Same destination, an opt-in checkpoint along the way.

Step 3, Watch the Track ship

The Track is where the work happens. The squad leader posts a short delegation comment, @-mentions the right specialist, and the agents get to work. Reading code, running commands, and posting progress back in real time.

A live Track: the review loop, progress, and the staffed roster — with the composer ready for your next steer.

You stay in the loop the whole time:

  • Comment to steer, reply like you would to a teammate; @-mention a specific agent or the whole squad.
  • Watch status move through todo → in_progress → in_review → done.
  • Review the diff or output the agents produce and ask for changes right on the Track.

The full zero-shot flow end to end: typing the idea, the squad being hired, and the first result landing on the Track.

The same flow, from the CLI

Prefer the terminal? You can drive the same primitives with the concierto CLI:

Create a Track and assign it to a squad
# Create the work item (a Track is an issue under the hood)
concierto issue create --title "Add a persistent dark-mode toggle to the marketing site"

# List your squads, then assign the new Track to one
concierto squad list
concierto issue assign TRK-1 --to "Frontend Team"

The squad leader is triggered exactly as it is from the web flow. It reads the Track, delegates by @-mention, and records an evaluation each turn. See Squads for the full routing model.
