// Manage Kian's own configuration and runtime behavior, including app preferences, workspace settings, models and providers, shortcuts, chat channels, and MCP servers. Use this when changing Kian itself rather than project files.
Develop and maintain frontend apps in `<AgentWorkspaceRoot>/app` such as tools, mini-games, landing pages, and interactive experiences. Use when the user asks to create, iterate on, or fix an app or page.
Build high-quality HTML presentations with the App module in `<AgentWorkspaceRoot>/app`, suitable for pitches, reports, and presentations. Help users converge on a style quickly by showing visual directions first and iterating on content afterward.
Manage Kian's installed Skills, including installing a skill from a GitHub repository, listing installed skills, enabling or disabling visibility, and uninstalling non-builtin skills. Use this when the task is to change which Skills an agent can use.
Use the built-in background browser for interactive web tasks, including opening pages, inspecting the DOM, filling forms, clicking through multi-step flows, and verifying page state. Use this when real browser interaction is required instead of only fetching static text.
Manage global scheduled tasks and execution records, including creating, updating, deleting, viewing, and troubleshooting schedules. Use when the user mentions cron, scheduled jobs, or timed execution. Only 5-field minute-level cron expressions are supported.
Manage user documents and knowledge in `<AgentWorkspaceRoot>/docs`, including recording, organizing, searching, and maintaining notes, journals, and reference material over time. Use when the task involves textual knowledge.
