Advanced Capability Map

Choose the current capability based on your goal

Advanced tutorials are not listed item by item in the Settings menu; they start from “what do you want to accomplish?” First choose the closest goal, then enter the corresponding tutorial.

The launcher on the left provides nine main entry points; choose the one closest to your task to get started.

Diagram explanation: first choose the main entry point based on your goal, then add skills, MCP, channels, or scheduled tasks after the workflow is stable.

1

1. First master the Agent workspace

Learn how to create Agents, choose a working directory, and understand model roles and permissions. The later extensions, automation, and project examples are all built on this.

2

2. Then connect materials and capabilities

Use the knowledge base for long-term materials, skills for repeatable methods, and MCP for external systems. Add only one capability at a time and verify it with a small task.

3

3. Finally automate or connect externally

After manual results are stable, configure channels, scheduled tasks, Code CLI, or external APIs. This makes it easier to find which link is causing problems when issues occur.
