Your First Space

A step-by-step walkthrough of a local Space—from opening the UI to completing a first task.

This walkthrough assumes Space is already installed and running. If it is not, complete Install Space first.

Before you start

Space is running (installer terminal still open)
You can open http://localhost:5002/space/ in a browser
Optional: an agent CLI or skill you plan to use with this Space

Terms: Space, work project.

Walkthrough

Open the Space UI

In your browser, go to http://localhost:5002/space/.

You should see the local Space interface. This screen is your Space: the environment where agents run and work is kept.

Identify the primary regions of the UI (navigation, agent or work area, and any status or project list your build shows). You do not need every control yet—only enough to recognize that you are inside a Space.

Attach or start an agent

Use your usual agent entry point for local Space (for example Claude Code with the Space skill, or another supported agent). Confirm the agent is operating against this Space, not a separate Cloud project.

Open or create a work project

A work project is a folder of work inside the Space—not an XO Cloud dashboard project. Create or open one so the agent has a place for files and context.

Complete one small task

Ask the agent to do something trivial and verifiable (for example list files in the work project or create a short note). Confirm the result appears in the Space / work project.

Check

You should now be able to:

Open the local Space UI and recognize it as the agent environment
Run an agent against that Space
Use a work project folder inside the Space
Point to one completed task as proof

Optional: Install Space as a Claude Code skill
Measure verified work: quirq
Prefer hosted machines and sharing: XO Cloud overview
