Quickstart Steps

<!-- Canonical Quickstart step list, shared across the CLI, zerocode, and web gateway surfaces. All three drive the same `BuilderSubmission` and produce identical config. Only the launch path and chrome differ. Edit the steps here once; every surface page picks up the change via {{#include}}. -->

Every surface walks the same checklist and writes the same config. Required steps must be satisfied before the agent can be created; optional steps can be skipped.

Step	Required	What it sets
Model provider	yes	Provider family (Anthropic, OpenAI, Ollama, OpenRouter, …), its API key or endpoint, and the model.
Risk profile	yes	Autonomy and sandbox posture. Pick a preset or reuse an existing [risk_profiles.<alias>].
Memory	yes	Memory backend (sqlite, markdown, postgres, qdrant, lucid, or none).
Channels	optional	Chat platforms (Telegram, Discord, Slack, …). The built-in cli channel always works; add others here or later.
Peer groups	optional	Multi-agent peer membership for the channels you configured.
Agent	yes	Agent alias, system prompt, and any personality files.

The runtime profile is set automatically. Quickstart installs the unbounded preset for the new agent. Tune budgets and timeouts afterward by editing [runtime_profiles.<alias>] (see Reference → Config).
