Get Started

Use this section when you want the shortest path from install to a first useful answer.

​
First Successful Outcome

The shortest supported path is still:
  1. Install Loong.
  2. Run guided onboarding.
  3. Ask for one useful result.
  4. Use doctor if setup is unhealthy.
The public docs lead with the base CLI path first. Channel setup, gateway surfaces, and richer runtime behavior come after the local assistant path is healthy.

​
Reading Rule

  • Install first.
  • Run guided onboarding before touching deeper config.
  • Use doctor as the repair path when the base CLI path does not feel healthy.
  • Add providers, channels, and richer runtime surfaces only after the local assistant path works.

What Comes Next

  • If you want to understand provider choice and model selection after first run, continue to Providers And Models.
  • If you want the practical provider and channel setup walkthroughs right away, go to Provider Guides and Channel Guides.
  • Keep Provider Recipes and Channel Recipes for representative rollout patterns after the exact built-in surface is clear.
  • If you already know the target stack and want one complete rollout path, go to Common Setups and then the dedicated playbook that matches it.
  • If the next blocker is managed skill install, browser preview, or private-host and domain policy, continue to Managed Skills and Browser And Web Boundaries.
  • If you want to understand the current public runtime surface, continue to Use Loong.
  • If you need the detailed channel matrix instead of the first-run path, jump to Channels.
