Tutorial Guide — Operations and Graduation Lessons
Nested tutorial-guide reference for operations and graduation lessons 10–12, reached from the root tutorial-guide router. Teach live per the router's discover, don't recite rule: read the real file or run the real command before explaining it.
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:
/sleep → agent sleeps → human sends message to wake/suspend → agent dies → human uses /refresh to revive → sends message to wake- 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
Addon setup route:
- Start with
mcp-manual and its reference/curated-addons.md.
- Use the relevant provider documentation for exact fields and supported setup steps; do not invent config paths or duplicate the kernel schema here.
- Require explicit authorization before making each config change.
Key concepts to teach:
- Avatars do NOT inherit addons
/mcp TUI command is read-only inspection of MCP configuration and status; it is not a setup or editor mechanism- Run
/refresh only after an authorized config change
Lesson 12: Graduation
- Congratulate the human.
- Next step: run
lingtai-tui in a new project to create their own agent.
- Remind them to follow the current MCP/curated-addon documentation for addon setup, with explicit authorization; use
/mcp only to inspect config/status.
- 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.
